Illustrated by
Andrew Rae.
Each volume explores a groundbreaking artist via text, reproductions, and graphic novel–like illustrations. No harsh truths (i.e., drugs, free love, hard drinking) are glossed over, making the series more appropriate for high school readers; the engaging text and design also make them accessible to struggling readers with an interest in art. Originally published in England, these editions are still peppered with Briticisms. Bib. Review covers these titles: This is Dalí, This is Pollock, and This is Warhol.
