"At 400 hundred pages "short" is not a great descriptive word. :) But it was to the point on the subjects it covered and a good book for covering the proper way to write about art."
"I am the only writer/reader in a family of visual art NERDS. When we go out together, it's usually to an art museum, and usually the rest of my family ends up oohing and aahing over Mary Cassatt's brush strokes while I'm all "Did anybody read Ovid's Metamorphoses?" My new self-improvement project is to become more familiar with art.
While this is a textbook usually given to first-year art history students, it's an amazingly useful tool for approaching and evaluating and comparing art.
"I originally read this for an art history class as an undergraduate. Since it's short and I have a couple short papers to write for a current art history class I figured it would be good idea to read it again.
In addition to being a good primer on how to approach writing about art, it's also a great guide on how to look at art. For anyone who has ever walked into a museum and wondered what they hell they were looking at, Barnet poses a number of questions that, if asked, could make the experience much richer."
