註釋

This innovative volume taps into the knowledge of artistic concepts that readers already have as the basis for developing genuine insight and artistic appreciation. Describes the basic principles of art in a down-to-earth and entertaining way ; Proceeds from the simple to the complex, using commonplace examples and popular art as familiar bases for the study of great works ; Concentrates on what is immediate, timeless, and fundamental ; Focuses on artists and their works - from the Paleolithic to present day ; Shows at the outset that appreciation of pictorial art is founded on the habits of perception, not on objective "laws" ; Makes extensive use of photographs and graphic step-by-step diagrams - with many of the illustrations being repeated and discussed in different contexts for improved recognition and a complete understanding of relevant, universal rudiments.
