From Library Journal

In dictionary style, this guide covers a significant amount of painting or colored graphic works. The dates indicated in the title may be misleading since they refer, not to birth dates or the production of specific works, but to vaguely described "professional careers" launched by the earlier date or established on the national scene by the later one. Entries include biographical data, training and influences, travels, and awards. A brief characterization of an artist's oeuvre and a short bibliography complete the articles. Pertinent associations like art schools, artist's groups, and art societies appear in the artist entries in capitals, referring readers to entries of their own. As a brief guide to a discrete period in contemporary art history, this book could be useful in large general collections for quick reference on genre, styles, and dates, but it offers little scholarly depth.
