Reviews:

• ...This annotated bibliography's organization will prove particularly useful to art historians. A section on each Fauve artist presents a biographical sketch, a chronology, and a primary and secondary bibliography on the artist....This user-friendly sourcebook will be an invaluable asset to scholars researching the Fauve movement. No college or university reference department should be without it.
  —Choice
• This impressive volume covers the literature on Fauvism in general as well as on its major artists. A scholarly sourcebook on the Fauves that any library supporting research on the subject will want to purchase.

  Reference Book Review
• After reviewing this book I cannot imagine a fine arts library, maybe even a general reference library, functioning without a copy of Les Fauves: A Sourcebook on its reference shelf. The broadest bibliographic overview to date. Les Fauves: A Sourcebook is a research book, not a primary resource. It will appeal most to graduate-level researchers and scholars and function at its best within a research library that can take advantage of its depth and breadth. However, that same depth and breadth, in a single volume, are what make it most useful to public, high school, and community college libraries and their patrons.
