Jakob Schwerdtfeger - Dot, dot, comma, dash, the art story is finished

A Wild Ride Through 1,000 Years of Art—Reading Performance “

” Art is everywhere! It’s in company logos and movies, in video games and politics.
Ever since humans have existed, they’ve been creating art—sometimes dazzling and colorful, sometimes dark and ominous. Museums and galleries are a vast reservoir of bubbling creativity. Here, horses can be blue and masterpieces can be made from trash. The world of art is an immense source of enrichment. At the same time, many people feel overwhelmed and put off by it. But that’s all over now! Jakob Schwerdtfeger captivates both art novices and experts alike with his very own unique perspective. What does Impressionism have to do with dog sweaters? Why does Cubism look like someone punched a mirror? And how did the Renaissance become the “nerd” among art eras?
This book has a different vibe—Schwerdtfeger gets us excited about art.
1,000 years of art history, covering all the major eras from the Middle Ages to the present.
