This one book will be your best companion in visiting the great art museums of the world. I purchased it before the first of two visits to St. Petersburg, Russia. During each stay I spent 5 or 6 days at the Hermitage Museum, where there were no catalogues in English to be found. I found that the rich descriptions of artists' styles, combined with key influences on each artist's work, was a virtual replacement for--I would say, even better than--a traditional museum-specific guidebook, let alone a superficial guided tour. I referred to it constantly as a walked from room to room. In fact, numerous people wanted to know where I got it! I probably could have sold a dozen of them. Before writing this review, I took a momemt to read the interview with one of the authors. There I discovered the following statement: "Just heard from a reader in California who took my book along to the Hermitage Museum in Russia. She said, "When everyone got too tired to go another step, we sat down and I gave us an art lesson from your book. Then we were off again." I am not THAT California reader, but I am certainly a very pleased OTHER reader from California. As I pack my books to ship off for my upcoming Fulbright in St. Petersburg, you can bet I am packing The Annotated Mona List.

This book is a must have to anyone studying history of art of the western world. Very useful for student of Advanced Placement History of Art. She (C. Strickland) explains the information in a way useful to study and remember. The text includes color images, tables, among other useful learning methods. I used this book to study for my AP Art History exam in May 98 and it was very useful. It is a great coffee table book too!! I highly recommend it.

This book is wonderful for several reasons:
1) clear and concise; 2) inclusive of the audience; 3) makes art very approachable; 4) places art within its historical context and development; 5) quick reference;
I was exposed to this book after taking various humanities courses and found this book great. It does a much better job of making art accessable than books like Gardner and Janson. I was impressed that the book covered a variety of bases without leaving too much out.
The tone of the work was inclusive and allowed anyone with an interest in understanding methods, techniques, personalities and history of art to do well towards approaching that goal. It does not approach art for the few with a rarefied tone nor does it talk down to the reader.
The layout of the pages are done well and have a decent flow of text and image. It does not, thank god, go into list memorization which is the downfall of some compact versions of some topics.
Highly recommended for those who play academic tournaments at the high school and college levels. The topics covered and interesting personal history found in this book will be found at all levels of play. The pricing of the paperback version will allow people to compete very well indeed.
For home schoolers/educators this book is a good survey introduction and is portable enough for museum trips.
Listmania!
