Great art book for an intelligent 12 year old and older.
Great art appreciation/history book. I bought this as a Christmas gift for a neighbor's 12 year old daughter. This book is age appropriate for an intelligent 12 year old and older. She's going to love it.

Art book review
Informational, has a ton of good history in there as well as all the famous art in the world. Engaging, but not overwhelming!

High-quality but not comprehensive
I love the book. It’s beautiful. It has high-quality photos. I like how it goes through the subject matter starting with the principles of art before getting into famous work. It mostly focuses on painting, but it does have sections for sculpture, photography, music, and dance. I am however very, unhappy that they used the wave of Kanagawa as they’re back cover art, and it’s not covered once in the book. Seems like kind of a slight.

Great for a young artist
This was a great Christmas gift for our budding artist! They love paging through it and copying artwork in their sketchbook, or just learning about the different styles of art.

The book is beautiful and has a good summary of many types of art. Although it can definitely cover more types and more breadth within each art type. They did a good job for Painting, but others lack breadth such as Music, none of the modern music genres are covered. Ceramics can also be included and elaborated next to Sculpture, as it is an amazing art form. There's more to like Dance, Photography and even blacksmithing and wood-carving too.
