Joan Altabe

Art Behind the Scenes: One Hundred Masters In and Out of Their Studios is an invigorating introduction to one hundred artists of the last five centuries. Brief discussions of their work, their place in art history and a peek into their private lives makes this a fascinating book.


"This guidebook should be tucked under the arm of every museum-goer…. It's like walking through the museum with the artist by your side."


--Sara Quinn, Design Faculty,
The Poynter Institute for Media Studies


Ms. Altabe's books is "an invaluable sourcebook for students, artists, curators and lovers of history…. Accessible, engaging hybrid of gossip and historical fact…an entertaining addition to any arts library."


--Christopher Skura, Chief Exhibits Preparator,
New York University/Grey Art Gallery
