5.0 out of 5 stars If you only invest in 1 book to learn about art, this is it., Dec 25 2001

This review is from: Art: The World's Greatest Paintings Explored and Explained (Hardcover)

This book is a great introduction or review for adults or teens. Using famous works of art, in color sure beats the first art appreciation book I read in college which had drawings and black and white grainy photos. Even with a degree in art history, I found this book a great refresher.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a terrific book, Aug 17 2001

This is both fun and informative. Though the language may be pitched at a relatively easy level, there is nothing condescending about it. It is deeply informed, and even the professor will learn from it. Buy it without hesitation if you wish to learn about great paintings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book For All Ages and A Great Author, Nov 10 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Art: The World's Greatest Paintings Explored and Explained (Hardcover)

I am only 13 years old and I have this book and I thought it was great. It really did explain art. I saw things that I actually wouldn't notice if I was explaining the picture. It was an interesting book and I enjoyed looking at it. It made me understand the pictures and made art funner and more interestig than it used to be. It was very interesting and I hope you buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new appreciation for art
In all my years in school I never knew annotated art existed. If I had, art would have become a passion of mine a long time ago. Read more
