The Masterpieces of Art series collects fourteen volumes on individual artists and art movements, published between 2009 and 2019. Each book focuses on a single subject — from the decorative designs of William Morris to the bold colors of the Scottish Colourists — with reproductions and commentary.

The series covers both well-known figures like Claude Monet and Gustav Klimt and less obvious subjects like the Glasgow Boys and Japanese woodblock prints. Gordon Kerr’s approach balances accessibility with enough art-historical context to give readers a real understanding of each artist’s place in the larger story.
