How to Read Paintings is a valuable visual guide to Western
European painting. Through a gallery of artworks accompanied by
informative commentary, it enables readers to swiftly develop their
understanding of the grammar and vocabulary of painting, and to
discover how to look at diverse paintings in detail, closely
reading their meanings and methods. In the first part of the book,
the Grammar of Paintings, the author reveals how to read paintings
by considering five key areas: shape and support, medium and
materials, composition, style and technique, and signs and symbols,
as well as the role of the artist. In the second part, we explore
fifty paintings through extracted details, accompanied by
insightful commentary, training the reader and viewer to understand
context and discover meaning within art. As a collection, the
pictures featured in How to Read Paintings have a strong
relationship with one another, and underpin the story of painting.
This book will be a valuable tool whether you are viewing the real
thing on a gallery wall, or simply reading around the subject to
learn more about Western art.
