What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art in the Blink of an Eye by Will Gompertz

silea's review against another edition

Started off as exactly what I want: a description of a piece of art (Duchamps’s Fountain), its context, the artist’s philosophy of art, why the piece mattered. I _understood_ the fountain after that chapter. 

But then it was just mini biographies of artists, protracted cafe scenes and all. Blah. I finished the Impressionist and Post Impressionists chapters with no new understanding of either movement beyond the anecdote that sometimes Manet got feedback on Monet’s work.
