He really has a way of putting into words what art and the artistic eye is without all the bolder dash that now plagues most critics. And a damn good teacher as well.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A must read for all artistsBy Downtown PearlThe entire book is great. For anyone who draws or wants a better understanding of why viewing art is such a rich experience read this book. For the artist; invaluable. I read it and reread this book and it always reveals more. Especially illuminating are his writings on JMW Turners watercolors.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
