Art. Why is this a masterpiece. 80 stories of great works. Pankherst E., Hoxley L.

I will say right away-this is not a drawing manual, but, in my opinion, a very good book that is good to have a drawing person with him. In order to understand that these curators have exhibitions in the head! (joke). In fact, the authors of the book teach painting, not organize exhibitions. The book is called impressive: “Art. Why is this a masterpiece. " It is art, not a picture - because there are sculptures and frescoes here. But mostly, nevertheless - paintings. The book has no less catchy subtitles - 80 stories of great works.

in the book of 10 sections, 8 photos (or other objects) in each. On the left is the image. On the right is a description. Really famous, but not “hackneyed” masterpieces. Of the hundreds of paintings that come to mind in the first place - only the Jaconde. Well, the soup of Campbell Andy Warhol. And Dürer, for example, has a self -portrait at the age of 13 (and he impressed me the most).

The book is equipped with brief biographical certificates for all the mentioned artists, a list of galleries in which masterpieces included in the book, a small introductory article. It is good to open the book on one or on the other page, peer, to read, understand. If you do not know what to ask as a gift for NG - ask for this book. It is nice to have it.
