Synopsis

How many art styles can you name? Can you tell the difference between Naturalism and Realism? How about Cubism and Impressionism?

In this book, art lover Bob Raczka clearly explains the basics of fourteen different art styles, spanning the 1430s to the 1970s. He also introduces such stylish artists as Jan van Eyck, Joseph Turner, and Juan Gris. So get ready to “brush up” on your sense of style!

Join Raczka as he delves into the fine art world and introduces famous works in lighthearted ways. Readers of all ages will appreciate the high-quality art reproductions and interesting approaches.
