She charts the story of western art, from eighteenth-century Germany to the late 20th century, from Kauffman to Whistler, Ingres to Rossetti, C--eacute--;zanne to Jackson Pollock. - ;What do we mean when we call a work of art `beautiful`?

It's easy to forget how shocking the Impressionist movement was in its day or how radical it was to create art for its own sake instead of to teach a lesson or reflect an event in history.
It is easy to forget in general how much of our thoughts and attitudes towards many things have been shaped by those who came before us in ways we don't even realize.
Overall the writing style was very approachable and easy to follow and I loved how many color plates there were so the reader could actually see what the author was referring to especially when comparing and contrasting different works, almost every major example cited was given a colored plate to back it up. This is not done nearly enough in books on art.
There were a few times the writing got a bit dense and hard to follow, mostly in the end of the book as the author delved into our Modern Art, though this may have more to do with my own bias with this art form and critics who write about it than the writing of the author of this book.
Overall this book has made me think more about my own attitudes towards art and to appreciate the work others have done in the past allowing me to experience art in the way I do. ( )
