I found this a nice read. Being a person who has never studied Art, or painting as such; this helped me to have a deeper understanding of not only the mechanics of making a painting, but also of "seeing" a painting. There isn't a whole lot of interpretation for the reader, rather the authors let you know what to look for in a good work, and then interpret on your own. Sculpture and other media is only briefly addressed; the focus is on painting. This was published in 1966.
It was a terrific volume to read before visiting the Legion of Honor in San Francisco where so many works of art from throughout history are on display.
