Hang-Ups by Simon Schama
Pre-eminent author and art historian Simon Schama has written widely on art for many years to great acclaim.The really appealing thing about Schama is... the stylishness of his storytelling. The master of the impressionistic aside, he can summon up a whole era with just a few choice words. * Sunday Times *
Schama combines an awesome breadth of knowledge with a real ability to communicate ideas in a manner stripped of pomposity. * Daily Express *
