This visual celebration of the world's most celebrated artists tells the fascinating stories of their lives and works. Lavishly illustrated with portraits of each artist, alongside photographs of their homes and studios, and personal artefacts, 'Artists Who Changed History' offers a unique window into the personalities of each individual, and their key artistic ideas, themes, and techniques. Introduced with a portrait of each artist, biographical entries trace the friendships, loves, and rivalries that inspired and influenced them, reveal the key social and artistic factors that shaped their work, and explore their influence on the artists who followed them. Entries explore the vision and approach of each artist, and the creative development of their work during their lifetime, setting it in context and conveying a powerful sense of the place and the period of history in which they lived.
