Book Reviews of Smithsonian Q & A: American Art and Artists: The Ultimate Question & Answer Book

Book Review: Amazing insights
Summary: 5 Stars

i loved this book. Clearly written by someone who has a great eye and know a lot about art history. Also, skillfully wove together the cultural and political history with a more formal analysis of the art as art. It gives the big sweep -- an understanding of how american art became its own movement(s), separate from Europe.
would be a great book for adults or YA, or younger children. The QA format makes it very accessible. Would also be a great classroom guide.
