Review # 1 was written on 2020-10-05 00:00:00 Robert Janey This book focuses on art analysis for art lovers rather than artists themselves. It deal exclusively with painting, prints and drawings. It includes excellent examples to explain each concept but very few modern pieces are included.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-06-03 00:00:00 Michael Dales This book is definitely for learning art theory, and is less useful for learning artistic technique. It was educational to learn how previous artists used composition to make their paintings more interesting or to drive home messages. As someone trying to learn how to paint, the main thing I took away from this was to simply be thoughtful about composition, try to think if moving a horizon line or grouping things differently would make a more interesting picture.
