Good primer on art history
I listened to the book on audible, and have as a reference in Kindle library. Solid, well referenced, well written book on art history, and at a great price. Could it go deeper? Yes. But, thats the point. This gets you started, and contains quite a bit for most. If you want deeper, then, you will need to focus on a movement or an artist. This book is broad. Again, well written, and serves its purpose.
