Reviews of Hunter's text run the gamut from being a great text to being a horrible one. Many here comment on the authors language usage which at times can be rather impenetrable and verbose, bordering on pompous. Ironically, the text is laden with typos. Page arrangement could have been better planned. Often image title, number, and accompanying data fails to be next to or near the image referenced. These critiques aside, Modern Art Hunter 3rd Edition is a helpful text for those who have some background in art history (and a good vocabulary). I would not recommend this text for a beginner, but would suggest it for someone who has a moderate background in the arts.
