Book Reviews of Matt's Old Masters: Titian, Rubens, Velasquez, Hogarth
Book Review: great book for art lovers and artists alike
Summary: 4 Stars
Art history can be painfully dull, but not when you're reading Matthew Collings. This guy is so passionate about art that you can't help but share in his excitement about these four great masters from history. Somehow he manages to bring these artists to life -- to show us their worlds, to explain why they were important figures in their own times, to reveal what the artists themselves loved about art, and to illustrate how we're still seeing the ramifications of these artists in art today. Along the way, he brings in lots of comparisons and extra info about plenty of other great masters. Of all the art history books I've read, this one is really special -- a favorite I'll read again. Loaded with fantastic four-color reproductions, too!
Summary of Matt's Old Masters: Titian, Rubens, Velasquez, Hogarth
In this eye-opening study, British art historian Matthew Collings clears the dust off the Old Masters, revealing just how original and subversive they really were in their own lifetimes. The key figures he has chosen are Titian, Rubens, Velásquez, and Hogarth. Appreciating it takes a little patience and some art historical context, and Collings does a fine job aiding the would-be aesthete?s eye and brain.
