Will Gomperetz is best known as the
rather eccentric looking BBC News arts correspondent. However, his cultural
pedigree is impeccable. He was Director of the Tate Gallery for 7 years and a
seasoned journalist with the Times and Guardian.
Moving through the past 150 years since
the recognized birth of 'modern art' Gompertz looks at the different schools of
art which sprang up and analyzes each movement in a clear, matter of fact way,
without losing the reader in intellectual pseudo-speak. Nicely illustrated as well, what you are looking
at is a great reference book for anyone interested in art.
This is a book to dip in and out as the fancy takes you rather than one solid read from cover to cover. Entertaining and informative for those who want to learn more about art trends.
