This book "demystifies western art and demonstrates that it is accessible to all of us--adults and children alike ... It introduces the type of questions that help us discover things about a work of art and how we feel about it ... Throughout, the emphasis is on looking at the paintings and drawing one's own conclusions about what one is seeing. Grouped into thirteen themes, ... 50 paintings from the fourteenth century through to the early twentieth century are featured"--Publisher's website.
