Description

MEET THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARTISTS - FACE TO FACE This stunning visual celebration of the world's most celebrated artists tells the fascinating stories of their lives and works. Lavishly illustrated with portraits of each artist, alongside photographs of their homes and studios, and personal artefacts, Artists Who Changed History offers a unique window into the personalities of each individual, and their key artistic ideas, themes, and techniques. Introduced with a stunning portrait of each artist, biographical entries trace the friendships, loves, and rivalries that inspired and influenced them, reveal the key social and artistic factors that shaped their work, and explore their influence on the artists who followed them. Entries explore the vision and approach of each artist, and the creative development of their work during their lifetime, setting it in context and conveying a powerful sense of the place and the period of history in which they lived. Covering a broad range of artists from the Middle Ages to the present day, Artists Who Changed History provides a compelling, entertaining, and accessible glimpse of the lives and loves of each one.

He is also the writer and presenter of several BBC art documentaries and the co-presenter of five series on the art and food of Italy alongside the chef Georgio Locatelli.
