An interesting and thoughtful book
I really enjoyed this book and how Carolyn discussed the various ways of looking at and appreciating art in its many forms, genres and attitudes. She picked interesting pieces to illustrate her points, and introduced me to artists I had not met before and new viewpoints of artistic works. Her enthusiasm has encouraged me to delve more into both my favourite and new-to-me artists and their focuses and motives.

Learn how to really understand Art!!
The most amazing book I’ve ever read about how to truly acquire skills in evaluating art. I’m a visual artist and I possess quite an extensive library of art books but none that do the job this one does in clearly explaining the history of Western Art and providing the practical tools to dramatically increase your visual IQ. I only wish I had this book 20 years ago. Whether you are an artist, art appreciator or art collector this book will pull all the art knowledge fragments you have floating around in your head into a clear concise unified understanding of what you are actually looking at.I also found the book to be a portal into exploring unknown artists, particular works, styles and art periods. If I wanted to dive deeper into any subject I found keeping my iPhone handy gave me quick access to jumping off into some rather deep rabbit holes of art. The author’s style was fun, fresh and extremely informative.
