\ School Library JournalGr 6-8-Brief overviews of significant 20th-century art movements. Each book includes an introduction to the period, sections offering social and historical context, and profiles of 11 or 12 major artists. All of the two- to four-page biographical sketches begin with a box of key facts and works, followed by details of the artists' early life and influential colleagues, and representations of their art. Sidebars offer facts about other period artists. The information provided is interesting, but at times repetitive. Quality black-and-white photographs, color reproductions, and colorful edging provide visual interest. A number of the reproductions are full page, but some of them are much smaller. These volumes can fill a need for introductory material about some of the key artists during these periods and may even encourage readers to seek out additional sources and reproductions.-Linda Wadleigh, Oconee County Middle School, Watkinsville, GA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.\ \
