I enjoyed looking at this and reading it on lunch breaks. I'm not very knowledgeable about art, and I'm still not, but I might recognize a couple now?

I (Heart) this book!
Honestly, it feels like a cheat to rate this book at all, or to write a review about it. Most text is merely the title of a work, the author (if known), year painted, and who donated it. The rest of the text is occasional cutesy poems about the section to follow. Most of it is a giant boatload of art. So . . . here are a few of my favorite for later self-reference because I know myself and I will forget the titles.p. 104 Marie Josephine Charlotte du Val d'Ognes by MARIE DENISE VILLERSp. 118 Weig...
I think the images will stay with me for a long time, reminding me that anything and everything can be art. Most importantly, there isn't just one way of creating art.
