    • The wide-ranging selection also includes a variety of genres: including graffiti artist Banksy, photographer Cindy Sherman, Op-artist Bridget Riley, scientific illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian, and sculptor Louise Bourgeois.
    • Running across the bottom of each page, a timeline highlighting world- shaping events helps contextualize the artists’ achievements on a global scale.
