Subtitled "a biographical, bibliographical, and critical guide to current illustrators, animators, cartoonists, designers, and other graphic artists," this book is especially welcome because graphic artists are often omitted from standard art biographical sources. The dictionary format of the book, which is planned as a biennial publication, brings together useful facts and at least one illustration per entryoften a portrait of the artist or his/her most famous work. Americans are emphasized, although the scope is international. Many of the artists profiled receive biographical documentation available from no other ready reference tool. Personal data, exhibitions, writings, work in progress, and other highlights are listed, followed by a brief bio-critical narrative of the artist's accomplishments. Essential for public and academic reference collections.
