I have most of the 500 series and have been very please with the variety of artists and styles that were covered. This particular title should have been "Artists celebrate the anguish of the human form". The majority of work illustrates very tortured forms and very few made me want to celebrate.I can appreciate the diversity of techniques and interpretations covered in the book, but it is heavily biased toward the disfigured and tortured. A few more celebrated forms would have made the book more balanced - as the other 500 series have been.
