Books
'A Taste of Art - London' takes the reader on a journey around ten of the city's galleries, exploring ten significant artworks at each location and offering an insightful 'taste' of art - the ultimate antidote to museum fatigue. The paintings, sculptures and objects selected from each gallery focus on a different time period in the history of Western Art - beginning with Roman Britain in The British Museum and ending with a look at pieces that cross time frames at the Royal Academy of Arts. 'Tasting notes' offer an engaging, narrative look at each work, accompanied by a quotation to whet the reader's appetite; whilst an illustrated 'key ingredient' unlocks the meaning and encourages the reader to not only look but more fully explore all one hundred pieces. The book also includes a map to locate the museums and a checklist of works, and is illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned illustrations.
