The 12-hour Art Expert: Everything You Need to Know About Art in a Dozen Masterpieces
by Noah Charney
Interested in art but feel under-informed? Curious but afraid you might not "get" it? 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. Learn about art, the art trade, and art history in a thorough (though concise) fashion. 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.
