As a picture book, there are 100 nice photos. Each done by a different author in a different style. The art is reproduced well. I think the book would have been better as a picture book with a little information about the painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another nice feature is that most artists have a listed link to a webpage, so it&#8217;s easy to find more information about the artist and his other works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is part of a series that promises to explain the inspiration, interpretation, design and process for creating a painting.
