1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great! Great! Great Read!By KassThis book is full of insight. I learned tons of things that I didnt know Id want to know. I was never really an art buff but now I am seeing art in a totally different way. I truly enjoy learning about the development of art in people groups and societies joined with spiritual reflection. I highly recommend.
