Reviews

"This massive and lavishly illustrated book is oriented around the clarification of a single problem: the artistic relationship of Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. . . . Father and Son brings together in one place many insights from [Seidel's] wide-ranging research. As such, it will be invaluable to every student of the field."-- "Sculpture Journal" (10/22/2015 12:00:00 AM)
