I've always enjoyed art books, but often felt they were not written for the regular guy or gal on the street. You know, those of us who can't afford the masterpieces, but have a great appreciation of the beauty, individuality and charm of all medium of art work.
Lots of great art, lots of great detail, and a totally enjoyable read. I have a new appreciation of art as a whole, and will view many pieces with a new eye. Anyone new to the art world, or anyone intimidated by the style often used to review and describe art will find this guide invaluable. It's going on my keeper shelf, for sure.
