Description
For Appreciation: An Introduction to Western Art History - Little Curator Series
Art terminology is tough, and that book put me to sleep... This book is for you.
Easy-to-understand language and rich illustrations provide detailed explanations.
It's the ultimate text for Western art.
This compact, easy-to-read guide covers art history from Greek art to the present day, serving as an introduction to art appreciation. It pulls out specialized terms, concepts, and common phrases often assumed known in art commentaries, explaining them in accessible language through Q&A.
Not just the main text, but the side notes are incredibly insightful too.
The casual chats between two curators, the honest questions from a cat who had zero interest in art.
These make understanding feel much more relatable, letting you read right to the end thinking, “Ah, so that's how it is.”
It properly explains the “Why?” and “How?” questions, and those technical terms you might want to skip over.
Q. What does “Hellenistic” mean?
A. In Greek, Greece is called Hellas.
“Hellenistic” means Greek-like = classical = ideal.
This term is often used in explanatory texts.
Q. What is a Baroque illusion?
A. Baroque refers to theatrical expression with exaggerated gestures.
Illusion means representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. Paintings are precisely illusions.
It's a device used in church art to dazzle the eyes and captivate the hearts of the masses.
