The Art Book

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Art Issues
by: Phaidon

April 30, 1997
This is a great book if like me you are interested in art but have a short attention span! The entries are very informative but concise and the whole breadth of art movements is covered. My only suggestion would be an updated version with more contemporary artists such as Anthony Gormley and Damien Hirst.

Its going to take him months to get through it but its one of the best presents i have ever got him and highly recommend it. I spent a long time trying to decide on the best book and this is it!

As a beginner to acrylic paints this book is ideal for me as it describes well the different techniques that can be employed. The many examples of completed paintings are also a great source of inspiration.

Art Now!: v. 2 (25th Anniversary Special Edtn)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Art Issues
from: Taschen GmbH

August 15, 2008
I bought a copy of this book for an artist friend a couple of months ago and paid around £25 for it. This is a newer (2008) edition and has literally hundreds of photos and illustrations. A very, very attractive book, like all Taschen offerings, and I would call it a huge bargain. With free shipping (thanks to Amazon Prime) there is no reason why one should not buy a copy right away.

About the book: It is a survey of the contemporary art and gives a nice overall picture of what is happening in the world of photography, painting and architecture. Taschen would not be organised, no not them! The book has everything thrown in and the only order that is followed is the surnames of the artists in alphabetical order. (Follow Taschen ...

This book was made especially for students from the Open University. Its content is therefore emphasizing on learning.
Sometimes it could be going straight to the point instead of going around it.
