Description
Look At This If You Love Great Art is a must-read for anyone with a passion for exceptional art. Featuring 100 of the best artworks ever produced, it offers a collection of insightful summaries on just what makes each piece so vital.
Art writer Chloë Ashby guides you through the pieces that resonate with her, revealing the fascinating stories behind them and offering her considered take on why each work should be regarded as a pinnacle of artistic endeavour.
With entries curated to provide a unique juxtaposition of styles, mediums, and schools of art, expect a contemporary take on classic artworks. Here, titans of art history cross paths with under-appreciated examples from outside the traditional canon, and rebellious visionaries blaze trails that still influence today's cutting-edge artists.
Covering all the most important genres of art—Abstraction, Pop Art, Surrealism, Renaissance art, Impressionism, and more—this engaging summary focuses only on artworks that truly matter, and the reasons why you must see them.
