Review title: I got Getting It
Product review: This book uses simple explanations and clear examples to explain new ways of looking at art, especially art that you really didn't like at first glance. Short enough to be read in an hour or two, the book in its first section explains ways of looking at art and thinking about it. Part Two briefly reviews art history from Greek Classicism to postmodernism. Getting It discusses ways of seeing; the vocabulary of art; and trends and styles -- all in a conversational way that is understandable and memorable. The tone is NOT textbook; it's as if a really good teacher were talking just to you. Getting It could serve as a good introduction to art appreciation and art history -- or a quick review -- or an update to help you enjoy today's art that can be complex and confounding (or -- even worse -- can seem like a joke on you).
