Interested in art but feel under-informed? Curious but afraid you
might not "get" it? Already a fan and wishing to immerse yourself
in a fun, engaging, informative and informed read that will refresh
and top up your Art History 101 and Introduction to Art courses
from college? The 12-Hour Art Expert: Everything You Need to Know
about Art in a Dozen Masterpieces avoids the common approach of
throwing hundreds of images at a reader and expecting them to learn
from and memorize them all. Instead, the book will guide its
readers through a brief series of masterpieces of Western art-from
cave paintings to sharks in formaldehyde. This book twelve chapters
teach readers about art, the art trade, and art history in a
thorough (though concise) fashion. Each chapter is linked to one
notable masterpiece, with references to others, giving readers a
fixed, digestible number of objects that they will get to know in
depth, and which they can use as a lens to understand the thousands
of other, related objects that they might encounter in the future.
Museums can be daunting, and art presents a strange new language,
one that certainly intrigues but is often intimidating and foreign.
This book, written by one of the world's best-known art historians
uses entertaining stories to break down intimidating barriers and
invites readers of all ages for a one-stop immersion into art.
