Review Quotes: Alice Harman has written frisky, idiomatic entries to make it seem that the artworks are speaking for themselves... This is an appealing book, especially given Quentin Blake's delightful drawings... 'Mona Lisa and the Others' [has] a lot to offer, with its array of paintings and sculptures beyond the Italian celebrity with the enigmatic smile.-- "The Wall Street Journal"
