Each work of art is given a page (which alas it rarely fills) and on facing page is the text in both languages. Few of the illustrations are in colour which is understandable but sometimes frustrating because the elements in a painting the text refers to can be more difficult to pick out in b/w and to me this is the only noteworthy drawback of the catalogue.
It took me a long time to go through this book. The main reason was that almost every image seemed to compel a long study. Another, less elevated, reason was that I was also compelled to compare the translations--usually from English to French--to the originals. I swear to God some of the translators deliberately showed polite disagreement with the authors about a few of the works by their word choices and by their emphasis upon one phrase over another. The exhibition catalogue as (terribly understated) drama.
In any case even if you've only the mildest interest in art this would be a book to keep an eagle eye out for in second-hand bookshops because you'd find yourself taking an interest in a fair few of the pictures. And even if you've a great interest in it, you might find your view of particular works refreshed and find yourself better appreciating even what you might nonetheless never come to like. ( )
