"Behind the closed door of the contemporary artist's studio is a hidden world of images--those artworks from the past that have inspired, animated, troubled or consoled the artists of today. In My View reveals that hidden world, providing an intimate look at the imaginations of more than seventy-five international artists, all of whom reflect on an artist who has inspired them or influenced their practice. It's an entirely fresh way of looking at art, unmediated by historians or art critics, and seen instead directly through the eyes of the artists themselves."--Front jacket flap.
"Features artworks from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century, often supplemented by images of work by the selecting contemporary artist. Some of the artist-contributors provide unusual and individual reflections on familiar figures from art history."--Front jacket flap.
