This is the first book by Nick Trend and it is a cracker... all in
all, a highly recommended book
*Daily Express*
in his intriguing, revealing and sometimes provocative book, Nick
Trend looks at 30 pictures that established new genres. . . It is a
neat conceit that will have readers mentally fact-checking his 30
highlighted works as well as rising to the implicit challenge and
finding first works for categories of their own
*New Statesman*
Recommended reading . . . Trend moves fluidly from famous moment
(Picasso's distortion) to the lesser known (the first female
self-portrait, by Catherine van Hermessen)
*Royal Academy Magazine*
