Es una aproximación precisa y sencilla al mundo del arte moderno. Abarca muchos movimientos y artistas y es cero tediosa su lectura. Es el primer libro de arte que leo y no será el último, por lo cual lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Very good intro to modern art. I knew about 30% of this from high school art hostiry and 20 years of going to galleries, but having it all put together was terrific.

A really good review of all the isms since Impressionism. I liked it a lot and learned a lot. I thought it a bit uneven (but that could've been me, my particular interests, etc.). I especially liked the section on Picasso and anytime Marcel Duchamp made an appearance, I was all smiles. I "read"* the audio version and felt that I missed details, names, etc.. I liked it enough, though, to order a used paper copy so that I can review it, check names and references, etc.
*I'm going to stop using quotation marks for reading an audiobook. You can read with your eyes or read with your ears, right? I've heard the claim that the brain processes the information the same way. I find that hard to believe, but plan to take a look at the science.

Ignore that it took me forever to actually finish this book. It’s a great tour through art history, with some fun anecdotes. I wish there had been more illustrations- frequently had to look up a piece being described in the book on my phone, leading me to getting distracted more often than not… but it was very good!!
