I‘ve loved museum-going all my life, but this book opened up my frames of perception on SEEING art. Much to consider and all of it valuable, though it‘s not a long book. Can‘t wait for my next trip to the Art Institute now. I don‘t give many five-star reviews but had no problem awarding them here. If you enjoy art even a little, pick up this. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
