Reviews
Have to say that this Harbison book is fascinating in its content. My only complain is the illustrations. I don't know what the publisher was thinking, but pictures of Van Eyck's paintings in this book are tiny & rare. I often found myself going back for 20 pages or so just to check the image again. I had to google clear and large enough images online in order to see details in Van Eyck's paintings that Harbison is talking about. I guess this book should be published in a larger format but the small, portable version just reduces its price. Other than that, I love this book. I know they have digital version. Maybe illustrations there would be better. PS: someone mentioned that this book is printed on matt paper; but mine is not. It's printed on glossy & smooth paper as you always seen in art books. So colors are fine.
