Accessible fine art

The list author says:
	"Silky, easeful prose, and with all the immediacy and sense of comprehension that a compilation of short Sunday Telegraph reviews, each dedicated to one artwork for each week of the year, allows."

The list author says:
	"Making for a less rawly pleasing television series than How Art Made The World perhaps, Schama's thicker book offering is nonetheless a rewarding slow burner spanning Carravagio to Rothko."

The list author says:
	"A treat of sense and clarity as a television series, and the literary accompaniment is similarly so. Spivey's Classics background makes for a title appealing to those of an encompassing world view."

The list author says:
	"Rivetting and deep enough a journey through the labyrinthine corruptions and nuances of an embryonic relation to today's European art world to please any fan of readable Stuart-age history."

The list author says:
	"For any roving lover of the UK's vast art and historical treasures, this has to be the archetypal glovebox tome. Individualistic and indeed cheeky writing, it is lovely to dip into in its own right."

The list author says:
	"Has more admirers from some quarters than others. Regardless, even considering the not always alluring long and linear chapters, Gombrich steadfastly assures us that no art need be lost to the masses."

The list author says:
	"One of the great originals, affording insight of international cultural tendencies only more recently acknowledged by Western sources, with lovingly sprawling sections on Japanese and African art."
