About this title

Synopsis:

Illus. with full-color photos. Isaacson introduces art in all its forms: painting, sculpture, folk art, crafts--even cities. He discusses the differences between realism and abstraction, links between tribal art and modern sculpture, use of color by diverse artists, and why everyday objects can be works of art.

Review:

"Beautiful, imaginative, and richly provocative."--(starred) Kirkus.
