Art History for Everyone: Learn Art in a Fun, Easy, No-Nonsense Way

This was an Excellent source of art appreciation. I can highly recommend it.

Totally opened my door to art. No I know where to go. Recommend to all people who want to understand art but thought its to hard to start.

Love this book! I have always wanted to learn more about art and always found it intimidating; that is until now! I am only 1/3 of the way through it and have learned more through this book than I have learned in all the museums that I have been in. It feels great to know what some of those insights are and realizing that by using the Restaurant Method, I will eliminate the overwhelm I have felt in the past! Thank you, Kristine, for an amazing book that was fun, easy, and informative!!!

This is an attractive book and well written. An easy read and informative. Personally, I wish it was more in depth and had more photos. A good book none the less. Excellent for the basics.

I have read many art books...this one is unique in not only telling the "what" about paintings and styles, but also the "why," and offers a continuity of understanding of art through the ages that I appreciate. I've also learned new information about the artists and their works, despite my reading background in art. Lastly, I admire the author's open-hearted approach to inviting especially those intimidated by the enormous field of art to walk right into the banquet and enjoy the freedom and joy of selectively experiencing small bites at a time...and to look forward to returning often.

Perfect book

I listened to a lecture from this author. It was fascinating and the book is an extend version of that lecture with beautiful and fun pictures for art lovers who are hesitant to pickup a art history book. Is simply written with interesting information.

Excellent. Conversation style that makes Art History available to anyone.

Wonderful and informative way into the history of art. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about art.

I read it in one day, and gave me confidence to better understand museums. Thank you to the author, strong recommend to anyone who was shy to learn art history and felt lost

Nice book

It’s a very delightful book to read. The way the author appreciates arts is inspiring and enlightening for someone who wants to enjoy arts more.

Being an English Literature enthusiast, I have always been curious how art shapes literature and vice versa. However, I never ventured upon understanding art history as it always felt a daunting and hefty task. But only until I found Kristine’s holy guide! This books lives up to its title like nothing else. Easy descriptions, simple language and nuanced perspectives, it has got all covered. The book perfectly traces the development of art and the factors that led to it, making it more interesting. Adding to the linguistic charisma, the graphic elements and the photographs used also make this book a must buy.
