What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art in a Nutshell by Will Gompertz

5.0

I was actually angry when I finished this because there wasn't more to read! This book is incredibly well written and totally understandable to someone (me) who is just starting to learn about art. I only picked it up because I needed information about one artist for an essay, but ended up reading the whole thing cover-to-cover in less than a week. Being the first book I've read about art, I can't say for certain that it's fully accurate, but it seems authoritative and definitely makes me want to know more.
