Review:
This is such an unusual and interesting way way of looking at pictures. There is a useful paragraph about each artist and some suggestions for activities. --Carousel
An eclectic selection of paintings is brought together from a wide range of genres on the basis of each one's attention to the issue of light. From the dappled impressionistic light of Renoir to the heightened contrast of a Frank Hampson Dan Dare frame, each is examined on a facing page through a knowledgeable but unpatronizing text. --Books for Keeps, March 1, 2010
