4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars, 24 Oct 2007

By	A. Beeton "adamblue" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Gombrich did what he did best in this book, by combining elements of natural history and biology with art history this book covers many aspects of decorative art, from the bower bird, to scarification, to wallpaper; it is an eclectic mix which leads on well from the classic Art&Illusion.
