The Story of Art by E.H. Gombrich

5.0

---

I'm not the hugest art fanatic, so I didn't expect to love this book, but I was very presently surprised! Gombrich tackles the ambitious task of describing the history of art, and he does so very well. The book is easy to read, while being chockfull of fascinating information. The artwork included supplements the text without overshadowing it, and helped me see even the "ugly" art in a new light.
