The Story of Art - A Concise Version (2014)
I’ve never had a proper academic education on the history of art. Recently I decided I wouldn’t be ashamed of this anymore and even to use it as an “advantage”. Revealing my nearly total lack of knowledge about the history of art, I have dedicated a work to each chapter of The Story of Art by E. H. Gombrich. |
