Thanks to Netgalley, this is my very first preview book. I'm a hardcore DK fan. The general concept of DK is all about beautiful, big picture books. But DK is way more than that. In my opinion, DK is currently the best publisher on Popular Science Books series. "Prehistoric Life", "The Complete Human Body", "Evolution: The Human Story" are among my favorites. The arts books are also outstanding. The structure of this book is to reframing the entire art history of the world chronologically, yet combining the essential characteristics of art into the journey, such as line, perspective, color, harmony, etc.

I'm a huge painting nerd. But as an amateur I could proudly say I suck. Art History is not only a subject for us to merely know who's who in Surrealism or Mannerism. By understanding how to express an idea visually on a canvas (or paper or whatever it is) historically, we enrich our toolbox inside our brain. As a neuroscientist, one of the most cheesy cliche yet effective motto is:

more tools inside our brains, more creativity.

This is the book for the enhancement. (
