In this engaging, award-winning book, an acclaimed art writer journeys through centuries of the painted world— from the luscious fruit of Italy’s Caravaggio to the lonely landscapes of New Zealand’s Rita Angus, the dazzling panoramas of America’s Lari Pittman and the mysterious ""tombstones"" of Japanese artist On Kawara.
Out of stock for several months, it now returns by popular demand - with an eye-catching new cover by Awa Press Young Designer of the Year Keely O'Shannessy and expanded illustration section - and still at the same RRP! Justin Paton's brilliant TV series has had repeated screenings during 2011 and 2012 on TV One and TVNZ7, and won a whole new audience for this acclaimed art writer. How to Look at a Painting was declared one of the Best Books of the Year by many, including the Listener.
