The 12-hour art expert : everything you need to know about art in a dozen masterpieces / Noah Charney.
Interested in art but feel under-informed? Curious but afraid you might not "get" it? Already a fan and wishing to immerse yourself in a fun, engaging, informative and informed read that will refresh your Art History 101 and Introduction to Art courses from college? The 12-Hour Art Expert: Everything You Need to Know about Art in a Dozen Masterpieces avoids the common approach of throwing hundreds of images at a reader and expecting them to learn from and memorize them all. Intead, the book guides readers through a select series of masterpieces of Western art--from cave paintings to sharks in formaldehyde. This book's twelve chapters teach readers about art, the art trade, art history and more, all in a thorough (though concise) fashion. Each chapter is linked to one notable masterpiece, with references to others, giving readers a fixed, digestible number of objects that they will get to know in depth, and which they can use as a lens to understand the thousands of other, related objects that they might encouter in the future. Museums can be daunting, and art presents a starnage new language, one that certainly intrigues but is often intimidating and foreigh. This book, written by one of the world's best-known art historians, uses entertaining stories to break down intimidating barriers and invites readers of all ages for a one-stop immersion into art.
