	Man Ray A definite biography accompanied by spectacular images of the artist’s greatest works.Inventive, audacious, with an effervescent imagination and a continual willingness to call traditional notions of art into question, Man Ray was the quintessential avant-garde artists.

	Rene Magritte A definite biography accompanied by spectacular images of the artist’s greatest works. His paintings combine a misleading sense of realism with a mocking irony. The startling quality of his art originates from his unusual use of common images extraordinarily juxtaposed with unusual contexts that give new meaning to these familiar things.

	Henri Matisse A definite biography accompanied by spectacular images of the artist’s greatest works. His diverse career was long and diverse. An accomplished painter, sculptor and graphic designer, he experimented with many different styles of painting from Impressionism to Abstraction, but is perhaps best known for his involvement with Fauvist movement early in his career.
