Gr 3–4—Breezy writing and brief chapters promote brisk reading. While not in-depth studies, readers are introduced to these painting masters personally and stylistically, with enough information for reports. Excellent reproductions are accompanied by informative captions; dates and the museums/collections and cities where they works are located are included. Photos relating to artists' lives and careers enhance visual and informational strengths. "Art Smarts" sidebars invite readers to examine works closely or explain the artist's media or techniques. Occasionally, a painting is shown at a distance from where it's discussed. For example, Edward Hopper mentions a renowned work on page 24 but displays it on page 40; worse, Hopper's best-known painting, Nighthawks, is noted but omitted entirely.
VERDICT Additional; use as supplements.
