Encyclopaedia Britannica presents an exciting

Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo and art movements on Photo Surrealism and Cubism.
The many forms of art, from different cultures, are examined at great length
in the 54 chapters that make up the majority of the first five volumes. Each
work has been written by a specialist, in that particular field, and produced
in chronological order so you can enjoy a journey through the ages of art. The
second section comprises 4 volumes exploring Artists from 1100 right up to the
year 2000 by providing an alphabetically arranged biographical dictionary.
