A voyage of discovery through thirty-six fascinating paintings, from Raphael to Rothko, Breughel to Bacon.
I love this accessible French bestseller, which helps us look afresh at 36 works from Raphael to Rothko, Brueghel to baconThe quality of the illustrations is of high quality too. Bookseller Barbe-Gall's ability to make works accessible ... is plain to see. Artists & Illustrators Takes the reader on a voyage of discovery... The author asks questions about the artists intentions and technique, and ultimately encourages us to appreciate the power and relevance of our own perception. Good Book Guide
