" These Time-Life World of books are good for three reasons. First, they alternate two styles of writing. The first chapter is mostly text, the second just images and captions, and so on. It's a good way to cover much ground without being monotonous. The second good thing about the series is that it's not just an eponymous biography. The "World of" any artist they name often includes fellow artists, precursors, and disciples, as well as some minor history and psychology. The final positive feature I'll mention is Time-Life's perfect proofing. I mourn the days when you could read a passage of any length without grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. It's a comfort to read something soothingly mistake-free now and then" These Time-Life World of? books are good for three reasons. First, they alternate two styles of writing.

It's a comfort to read something soothingly mistake-free now and then.- Henri Matisse is certainly fascinating. He worked as hard as Cézanne but remained miraculously sane. He didn't seem to be burdened by the public's opinion, yet remains likable in Parisian society. He lives an uncommonly long life and manages to reinvent himself repeatedly until the end. ".
