These books, first published in 1988 in Spain, have both the strengths and weaknesses of a commercial book package. The strengths lie in the plentiful illustrations, richly varied and in full color. However, the exotic voluptuousness of some of the major artworks, and the obscure historical settings of some others, make it evident that they were not chosen especially for young audiences. The coverage of each of the periods of art is comprehensive and ranges from painting to architecture to sculpture and decorative arts but, again, does not appear to be written with a young readership in mind. The title The Key to . . . is somewhat misleading, as the series is not introductory, and the texts do not focus on any primary theme or technique that is defined as the focus for each period of art. The Key to Painting does offer a short course in vocabulary and a description of the various techniques used by artists since the Renaissance. Like the other books in the series, however, the printed discussion must compete for readers' attention with the eye-catching illustrations, whose lengthy captions provide a running commentary sometimes at odds with, or at least a distraction from the body of the text. These volumes will not successfully introduce children to the wonders of art. For that purpose, Piero Ventura's Great Painters (Putnam, 1984) or Bryan Holme's Enchanted World (Oxford, 1979; o.p.) are better planned. However, despite its deficiencies as an introduction to art, this package does offer a wealth of intriguing, full-color reproductions and many details about the artists and the art styles they developed to older students already acquainted with the main features of Western art. --Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ (c) Copyright 2010.

Color reproductions. More admirable for its intent than its execution, this series presents art history to young readers. The quality of the reproductions is not uniformly good; the captions are not very helpful; and the books are marred by poor layout and design. However, each single volume does present approximately eighty reproductions and a great deal of information about the particular period. Glossaries, indexes. (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 7-12. The Key to Painting is a concise introduction to the history of painting from early cave art to the work of the twentieth century. Abundantly illustrated with full-color reproductions and black-and-white drawings, it includes a discussion of the artist's materials and basic art techniques, such as perspective, proportion, and composition. Incorporating numerous examples of architecture, painting, sculpture, drawing, and decorative arts, the other volumes trace the development of major movements in art, discussing the history and characteristics of each period, the origins and philosophy of the movement, and major artists and their work. Although the compact format of the series is unusual for art reference books, the texts present solid overviews, useful to general art collections. Each volume includes a glossary, an index of illustrations, and a chronology chart. No general indexes are supplied, although a "table of contents," located at the back of each book, provides some text access. ~--Mary Romano Marks
