Review #1

Anything by Robert Cumming is worth having

I enjoy anything that Robert Cumming authors. This book is no exception-- I just wish there were more paintings discussed!




Review #2

It's Okay... but not what I was looking for.

It looked better on the site that in person. Most of the info I already knew (I was an art major though) and I was looking to use this for my art class. But I did not find it useful. A more traditional style that I did not like and would not be interesting for my students. Benefit are that I now have an additional book on my bookcase so I can look smarter!

I would recommend the Annotated Mona Lisa, I purchased it and liked it better. It was a different style that my middle school students liked better. I am still looking for a art book with out nudity (Mona Lisa have very little, just the David and a few other famous ones). Hard I know, but I need one for my elementary students. Now i just tape pages together.




Review #3

Great resource

I love this book!! It has already proven to be a great resource for my high school English Language Arts classes. Excellent collection of classic art along with detailed annotations.
