Interesting and great pictures

The book contains page after page of wonderful color photographs of various works of art. The descriptions and analysis are very interesting. The only problem is that the book is small (142 pgs) and can't cover that many pieces. The book also contains a useful vocabulary section in the back that describes some of the art terms in the book.
