Book Review: A "Regular People" Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Sir E.H. Gombrich is a person who I would have loved to of conversed with. He is knowledgable in many areas and this is no different. This book it written so that normal peaople with no prior art exposure can learn to appreciate art. He does so without talking down on the reader and is very entertaining. I think I'm going to buy the pocket edition so I can read it on the go as well. You should read it...and keep me updated!
