The Art Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained Hardcover – 1 Mar. 2017

I collect these wonderful books and this addition was no let down. Great coffee table books with plenty of discussion to be had. Accessible knowledge and everybody is bound to learn lots!

The whole range of DK books is beautifully prepared. This is no exception to that statement. My granddaughter had asked for a number or artistic materials etc for her Christmas. This book was an additional item. It arrived promptly and the Seller deserves a mention in that regards given the time of the year.

I have always loved art but never studied it in school. With holidays coming up we discussed heading to galleries and museums but felt like we would have zero appreciation for the art and such.This book delivers.Its laid out beautifully as described, clear chapters, an index , timelines and more.I feel like I can finally go to an art gallery and have an appreciation and better understanding.Would be great for homeschooling too, or a teacher/parent looking for more info.Minus a star for not enough info on artists on each page, it appears to be scattered throughout as well as in mini text box.

Nothing not to like about Big Ideas Simply Explained

a christmas gift the recipient was very pleased and has found it highly informative

I got this book for my teenager daughter and it's perfect for this age as it has a good description of the artists and their work.

The greatest most well known art movements are discussed. Huge reliable resources for those truly interested in Art. Easy read.

This was an excellent book to read. However I feel the biggest drawback is that it didn’t offer much in the way of African art.
