Why a Painting Is Like a Pizza: A Guide to Understanding and Enjoying Modern Art

Humorous and easy to understand!

Absolutely the best art book for contemporary art that I have read. It was assigned reading for a course and the suggestion that we read the last chapter first really made a difference. Read the last chapter again when you come to it. I never thought I would write that I could not put down an art book.

A good book for people who "don't get" modern/abstract art. It would especially be useful for teaching in High School art classes.

The book is excellent and helps connect the dots for people with little art history background, but want to understand what they are looking at in Modern Art pieces. The writers tone is enjoyable and keeps the reader engaged. I recommend it!

Best book I've found to explain Art, contemporary art. I've been an art teacher.

I didn't just enjoy it as a budding modern art fan (though it did broaden my understanding); but it was a helpful tool in discussing (and defending) modern art with friends and family.

Not my kind of book, but it is an interesting read. If you are into modern art, maybe..

great book
