I am a big fan of this genre - and the book is well written --but hey- where are the color images? There are dozens in black and white (?) but only about 8 in color. I understand that this is an art history book that is heavy on analysis..but color images are a MUST. I would not have purchased this book if I had understood how crappy the images are--what a shame. This is such a wonderful genre of art, and the colors are magnificent in the real paintings.I would not buy this book unless you have a great visual imagination.With all the fine minds, and excellent research behind this project..I wonder what they were thinking to publish a book about beautifully colored paintings..in black in white. The editor should be fired.
