From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-This series entry's double-columned pages, black-and-white illustrations, and fact-oriented biographical essays cast Glubok's admirably smooth writing and careful research into a mold of mediocrity. The 23 artists included are not at all surprising, and volumes have been written about most of them. America is represented by Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler, Frederick Church, and Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keeffe (the token women). A 16-page insert contains full-color reproductions of at least one work by each painter. The alphabetical, encyclopedialike format does not invite browsing. The informative, fact-and-anecdote-filled biographies, each about eight pages long, are useful for reports but fail to capture either the colorful personalities of the artists or the interest of casual readers.

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. Following the familiar Great Lives series format, Glubok provides brief introductions to the lives and works of 23 European and American painters. Students will have encountered most of the artists during the course of social-studies research projects (Michelangelo, Picasso, Whistler, Rembrandt, El Greco), but Glubok also includes a few surprisesamong them, Vermeer, Chagall, Titian, and Velazquez. Georgia O'Keeffe and Mary Cassatt are the only female painters presented. Glubok attempts to convey a sense of each artist's personality and character, and she makes it fairly clear that some of the painters were eccentric or even disagreeable. Black-and-white photographs and a 16-page, full-color insert will be included. Chris Sherman
