Description: Desperately Young' introduces the masterpieces left behind by some of the greatest rising stars in fine art - all of whom died before their thirtieth birthday.0Precocious talent seeps from each artist's work, along with a sense of unfulfilled potential. Informative biographies detail their legacies, while their tragic deaths lead us to wonder what heights they might've reached, had their lives not been cut short. 0Richly illustrated, 'Desperately Young' presents prime examples of each artist's work, demonstrating how our cultural heritage is just a little narrower for their loss.0From Europe to America to Japan and the Indian Subcontinent, the mid14-hundreds to the late 20th century, this book hails the acknowledged greats and introduces those who died before they could leave an indelible mark on history.
