" The Second Edition of The Art Book is a substantially expanded and updated version of the hugely successful original. Introducing 100 new artists selected from all periods and from across the globe, the new edition includes for the first time leading figures from the fields of photography and performance art. Works and text entries for a selection of artists from the original have also been updated. Winner of the Illustrated Book of the Year award in 1994, The Art Book has been an outstanding success and has become a well‐known landmark in the art book world. Now published in over 20 different languages and in mini, midi and hardback formats, it has received rave reviews from numerous newspapers and magazines and has made many appearances on the bestseller lists. Complemented by The 20th Century Art Book, The American Art Book, and now The 21st Century Art Book, its unique approach brings art alive. An A‐Z guide to the greatest painters and sculptors from medieval to modern times, it debunks art‐historical classifications by throwing together brilliant examples of all periods, schools, visions and techniques. Each artist is represented by a full‐page color plate of a definitive work, accompanied by explanatory and illuminating information on the image and its creator. Glossaries of artistic movements and technical terms are included, making this a valuable work of reference as well as a feast for the eyes. By breaking with traditional classifications, The Art Book represents a fresh and original approach to art: an unparalleled visual sourcebook and a celebration of our rich and multi‐faceted culture.

1) Hand-lettered titles and designs made to look 3D/tactile. (Asymmetry or Small Hours are examples of the latter.)

2) How to choose? Nan Goldin is great. Edward Hopper is quietly lovely. Winslow Homer is a master.

3) Giovanni Paolo Panini‘s “view painting” in the Louvre. It‘s a painting of a room full of DOZENS of paintings. Incredible work from the 18th century.

4) The Met is a go-to. It can be so different every time.

ReadingRover I love Nan Goldin too!!! I saw a show of hers forever ago and fell in love. 6y
JoScho Fun answers. The Met is amazing. Thanks for playing! ❤️ 6y
mrozzz ☺️ Her photo books are great too. I loved her as soon as I saw her work in my photo history class— and not just because we have the same hair style... her projects are powerful. @ReadingRover 6y

Smartypants @MinDea I moved here a few months ago, I‘ve gotten a lot of reading done as it has been quite lonely. 😊 6y
MinDea I grew up in MI. I miss it! Where do you live? Did you move there for work? I understand feeling lonely moving to a new place. When I moved from MI to IL I was a little lonely since I didn't know anyone. 6y
Smartypants @MinDea where did you grow up? I lived here until I was a teenager and then moved away. Was offered a job here so now I‘m living in the suburbs of Detroit. How kind did it take you to meet people? It‘s been 5 months and I haven‘t really met anyone. 😔 6y
MinDea Well I grew up in a small town just south of Lansing but lived in the suburbs of Detroit when I worked Dearborn for Ford. Email me! MinDea do Litsy at gmail dot com! It took me a good 6 months to start meeting people and mainly it was people at work . 6y
MinDea Oops. MinDea dot Litsy at gmail dot com 6y

Tonight I went with Ahmed one of "my"kids to a Art Exhibition for K-12. Out of the 9000 student body the few chosen kids artwork was on display at the local Arts Council. Ahmed, an 8 yr old boy who is a refugee from Pakistan, who I am in my third year of mentoring, tutoring and supporting had his artwork displayed. He was so very proud! He is enamored with art and looked at every single piece of art displayed. I'm so proud ?????????

Good news: Got a part time job as an educator at the local art museum! Bad news: high school humanities and art history was a long time ago. Time to brush up.

ValerieAndBooks Congrats!! Are you working with kids or adults? Both? 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Cool! Sounds like fun - and a challenge! 7y

When I told @BookBabe that it was time for our walk, this is where I found her painting ?, on the back porch listening to an audiobook. This is one of her non-bookish pieces. It's called "The Forgotten Firefighter" and it's of, well, a forgotten firefighter in NJ. He perished fighting a blaze with 2 other colleagues, but he has perplexingly not been included in re-tellings and memorials. An old deteriorated photo was found, and she's using that.

It's my last week of work at my current job (I work in a Children's Library). A little girl presented me with this portrait of me today. I think she did a pretty great job. Compare it with an actual photo of me. Which is the real me? Which is the drawing? It's impossible to tell.

sprainedbrain 😂😂😂 love this!! 7y

Only found two Text Only books on my shelves for today's #Booktober photo ... Guess that's what happens when you often judge books by their covers!
