I recommend reading "The Story of Art" by Gombrich. It is very well written, although perhaps it should have been called "The Story of Western Art".

- mcjiggerlog 9y agoI was going to recommend the same book. It's a pretty good starting place. I've also enjoyed Theories of Modern Art by Chipp [1]. Gives a great insight into the mind of the artist. [1] http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93073.Theories_of_Modern_Art http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93073.Theories_of_Modern_...
