Review :
“Extraordinarily useful and necessary for any class in art history!” -    Johanna Movassat, San Jose State University “A step-by-step guide, incorporating both theory and practice, to critically thinking and writing about art.” -    Janet Carpenter, City College of San Francisco   “An extremely useful book for art history students at all levels of study.” -    Melissa Dabakis, Kenyon College    “I find the text to be fundamental in teaching students to write. It is concise enough to cover in a course on a particular art historical topic without overtaking the topic itself. It is always my secondary text.” -    Rebecca Trittel, Savannah College of Art and Design   “Excellent definitive source on writing about art for the advanced student.” -    Carey Rote, Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi
