Reader comments
This book is really great! It tells the development of Western art in an easy-to-understand way, and is equipped with many beautiful pictures, making it easier for me to understand and appreciate. Just like the last time I went to an art exhibition with my friends, although we didn't know much about the works, I learned a lot about art through this book, and it became more interesting to see those paintings again. Moreover, the book also mentioned primitive rock paintings, which reminded me of the mysterious patterns I saw in my hometown when I was a child. It turns out that this is the origin of art! I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in art, but also for ordinary people like me. It can help us better understand Western art.
