Fascinating art explainer, suitable for all ages.

[Eli · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting broad look at a cross section of Art history, Artists and Art styles. It is a Usborne book aimed at young audiences so it lacks depth but it provides enough scope to inform and give potential art lovers multiple directions to explore.

Alles over kunst: de geschiedenis, wie het maakt, waarom, wat het is, wat ermee bedoeld kan worden, hoe het gemaakt wordt, waar je het vindt en ga zo maar door.
Dit boek is zelf een kunstwerk, rechttoe rechtaan lezen is er niet bij. Mooi, leuk, vermakend en leerzaam!

Pretty basic, but I could extract some lessons from there. The part with the art gallery was the most interesting because I never actually thought about how hard it is to work in an art gallery.
