I won’t pretend and say this is a book I would have randomly picked and read. My county extension office book club has a requirement to read one art book a year. This was my choice.
I’m not a huge fan or art and art museums. I’ll look at art and say oh that’s pretty or what in the world??? Maybe I’m not sophisticated enough to grasp the beauty.
I found this interesting. I took copious notes (mainly so I would pay attention). I did learn a few things.
If you want to learn about art and the different periods without taking classes this is a good book to start learning.
