Thames & Hudson Why is art full of naked people?: other vital questions about art

I found it funny and informative. Highly recommend.

Not all about naked people so don’t be fooled by the title.Explains lots of confusing things in a great simple way and intrigues children into art

I noticed Laurence King Publishers has been making art more accessible to the general public with some of the books they have published, this one included. The books I'm talking about are the This is artist monograph series.The book we have here is a 96-page hardcover authored by Susie Hodge. It answers commonly asked questions about the art world. For instance, the title itself is a question. There are many interesting questions like why paint, do artists copy each other, what's with all the fruit still life, do you have to be clever to look at art.The answers are presented in an easy to understand manner and it's not just enjoyable to read, it's also educational. The artworks featured are paintings from centuries ago with a selection of contemporary pieces.This book is a fun introduction to the art world and how artists think. It's a good read and worth the money. So you want explore further and study art pieces in detail, you can check out  Color in Art  and  Art in Detail: 100 Masterpieces .(See more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.) Color in ArtArt in Detail: 100 Masterpieces

Poor quality print. The finish of the book is extremely poor, with the cardboard book cover cut the same length as the book, and the cardboard is exposed.The information inside the book is good though!

After visit to art galleries I have this one to my 8 year old. A very nice book
