Book Reviews of The Shape of Content (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures)

Book Review: The Shape of Content
Summary: 5 Stars

"The Shape of Content" should be required reading for any serious artist, no matter what the venue. I bought and read this when it first came out and have passed on a few copies over the years. Ben Shahn clearly defines what is necessary for the development of anyone planning a career in the arts.
