Customer Review:
This is a book full of real art for every man to enjoy, not a few canvases purchased by the rich who decided it was art because it matched their couch. This is art that expresses real everyday emotions and beliefs. I hadn't heard of Banksy before buying this for myself for Christmas, no I'm a... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I admit that I have not read this book, but I am skeptical of the author's knowledge of art history and ability to critically examine its nuances. In the glowing review above from the Washington Post (the paper she works for in fact) there is the following quote:
"It is shocking. Imagine the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
One can imagine a number of histories written over the years, but Bob Eckstein, the author of the highly enjoyable "The History of the Snowman", has added one more. His story, told from modern-day backwards, looks at the snowman in lore, advertising, art and society. Richly illustrated, the author... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I purchased this book for my art history classes at a community college and I noticed that the chapters were rearranged from previous editions.

from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $16.38
Customer Review:
This is a really good book, but I was disappointed that there are no color plates. Also, even though there are a lot of black & white reproductions and really interesting historical photos, the printing quality is not especially good. This is a shame, because the author spends a lot of time... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
