(4) 4-6 What Is Art? series. This series poses thought-provoking questions as it presents readers with various types of art from around the world. Intended to create "a better understanding of art and...allow you to enjoy it more," the books convey a wealth of information but occasionally hit a condescending note. Bright photographs and clear reproductions illustrate the texts. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these What Is Art? titles: Buildings, Drawings and Cartoons, Paintings, Photography, Sculpture, and Textiles.
