Review
"In reading Living With Art, I get the feeling that this is information being communicated by real flesh and blood; by someone who is a scholar but also has a sincere love of art; by someone who knows what it is like to be a student in an art appreciation class (confused/uninterested/intimidated/etc.)" Prof. John M. Bell, Blue Ridge Comm. College, VA

The Allure of Living With Art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living With Art (Paperback)
This book of approximately 500 pages covers art through the ages, including full page, color glossies, and brief but informative biographies on the most famous, some infamous, and influential artists. It has chapters on concepts to composition, not overlooking or limited to color, shape and volume, and much more in the way of inspiration. It's bound to bring you back to all the reasons you wanted to be an artist in the first place, and in context that appeals to even the less avid reader. A bit pricey perhaps, but it's definitely a timeless keeper & reference book. I highly recommend it to all visual art enthusiasts and aspirees.

Wonderfully illustrated!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living With Art (Paperback)
Life with Art takes the reader through a very informative subject in a concise, but detailed, manner. Beautiful illustrations of artwork being discussed don almost every page. The book is separated into twenty-one chapters which allows the reader to follow art through history, study the different types of art medium, and learn enough about art vocabulary to write a critical analysis. A must for all art students!!!

Wonderful!,
By
This review is from: Living With Art (Paperback)
The value of this wonderful book is far beyond the nice design and comprehensive coverage. For those who are interested in art but do not major or profession in it, like me, it introduces some fundamental questions, such as "what is art", as well as the basic concepts and facts you need to appreciate more from any form of art. (Question: Why does the 6th edition have a different author?)
