The "Eyewitness Art" series covers great painters, art movements, classic themes, and pivotal periods in art history. The way in which an artist, movement or technique developed is revealed through annotated photographs of paintings, people, sketchbooks, personal possessions and ephemera from museums and private collections around the world. This title in the series, "Composition", goes beyond the surface details of pictures to describe the chief techniques employed by artists in their search for an overall visual result. The books in the series support National Curriculum teaching requirements at all levels.
