“Masterpieces: great paintings of the world in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston” by Gillian Shallcross
“Are you someone who wants a concise guide to world art history? This book of favorites is the perfect answer with over 150 paintings scanning the globe. The book is divided into four sections. The first chapter is on Asian art (…). The second section deals with Europe with examples from all the major movements. (…) The third section is about United States painting. There are fine examples by famous names such as Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargent, but there are several artists who are not well known. In fact, many of the artists studied in Boston. The last chapter deals with the twentieth century with paintings by artists such as Picasso, Kirchner, Matisse, O'Keeffe, Hopper, and Pollack. If you have a museum art library, you must add this to your collection.”
