The authors select, and comment upon, the “best of both worlds”: books whose pages reveal the best graphic work of the past century; artwork from the hands of masters as diverse as Braque, Calder, Dine, Hockney, Mapplethorpe, Matisse, Maillol, Picasso, Oldenburg and Rivers―coupled with memorable texts orchestrated by the best designers, printers, and binders.
