## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very Relevant Book Backed with Multiple Art Theories
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2016*

This book helped me understand why there are so many conflicting views on what art is exactly. Ultimately, it's almost impossible to find someone who agrees with every definition and theory of what art truly is, but this book presents it all so you can make your own conclusions about what art is. I highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love this read. : o
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2014*

Other than a large sticker on the front cover, the look of this book is great! Without the sticker, it could have been new. The contents of the book itself are thought provoking and fresh. Colored panels in the middle have got to be my favorite part of any art book. Short and sweet introduction to art criticism, very much recommended. : )

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Clear and Concise
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 9, 2013*

This should be required reading for all art students. I wish I would have found this at the beginning of my studies so I would have known how to talk about and understand what I was looking at in critiques and it would have been very helpful knowledge for required writing assignments.
