Customer Review: I admit that I have not read this book, but I am skeptical of the author's knowledge of art history and ability to critically examine its nuances.

Customer Review: Warning--this is a RAVE review. I wish I had discovered this wonderful book years ago. (I found it at a museum store in Balboa Park, San Diego.)
