Jakob Schwertdfeger - PUNKT PUNKT KOMMA STRICH, FERTIG IST DIE KUNSTGESCHICHT.

INTO ART HISTORY WITH A BELLY FLOP
Art is everywhere! It's in company logos and films, in video games and politics. People have been making art for as long as there have been people - sometimes dazzling and colorful, sometimes dark and threatening. Museums and galleries are a huge pool of bubbling creativity. Here, horses can be blue and masterpieces can be made of garbage. The world of art is a gigantic enrichment. At the same time, many people are overwhelmed and put off. That's all over now! Jakob Schwerdtfeger inspires art philistines and experts alike with his very own view. What does Impressionism have to do with dog sweaters? Why does cubism look like you've punched a mirror? And how did the Renaissance become the nerdiest of art eras? This book has a different vibe - Schwerdtfeger gets us excited about art.
1000 years of art history, all the important epochs from the Middle Ages to the present day: DOT DOT DOT COMMA STRIKE, DONE IS THE STORY OF ART.

"THIS BOOK IS MY DECLARATION OF LOVE FOR ART."
