### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ which is great. I like that on one page there is ...
*by J***H on January 3, 2016*

I bought this book for my 6 year old budding artist. Personally, I don't know much about art (never was interested), but I am feeling more knowledgeable and interested after browsing this book. My daughter and I are enjoying looking and talking about art in this book. This book is alphabetical, which is great. I like that on one page there is a very modern abstract painting, and on the next a religious painting from the 1500s, and the next an abstract sculpture, and so on. As an art absolute novice, it is interesting to see how these works of art are side by side from different eras, and different countries, and different aesthetics, but sometimes referencing each other and complimenting each other while being so different. Learning a lot, and I never thought is art would be so interesting! My 6 year old is also really inspired by this. Would recommend for children, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Darn good introduction to ART.
*by M***Y on February 1, 2014*

I have several dozen ART books, many devoted to individual artists, but this is a great book for anyone that wants to get to know the different aspects of art. Not everyone knows every artist so this is a good guide to look up an artist whose name you hear but do not know him/her. It only gives a page to each but it does show a major representative work by the artist. It is not perfect as many artists start out in one genre and migrate to another so you have to settle for a more "famous" work as representative. Still it is an asset for hard copy information. Some might find it arcane in this age of internet accessibility to a bounty of information easily obtainable on any artist but I am an old fart and I like paper books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classic in Art books!!  A leader in the field!
*by M***H on October 22, 2012*

"The Art Book" is one of my favorite books of all time. It was the first (that I know of) to use the new format of placing artists' names alphabetically rather than chronologically or in historical periods, or according to "art movements." In the old format, you would see similar works of art all together. In this new format (now being copied in various books), the alphabetical listing of artists' names gives an almost "shocking", or even better, more enlightening effect where you might see a Medieval or Renaissance work on one page, then on the facing page would be a dazzling 1930's German Expressionist work. (I just made up that example, but it's close to the reality of what you will experience.) This is NOT just a "coffee table" book. It is, rather, a book that you will return to over the years and love, and loan to friends. Enjoy!!
