Why read it?
1 author picked Why is Art Full of Naked People? and Other Vital Questions about Art, by Susie Hodge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is a great question, right? For your curious child (or anyone that especially likes a giggle), this is the perfect “art history, explained” reader. I’m a big fan of this one. The book is structured around twenty-two questions, and some are straightforward, like the title question, while others ("Why is everything so flat in Egyptian art?" or "Are stick men art?") might make grown-ups think differently, too. Whether you're a longtime art lover or just setting foot into a museum for the first time, I guarantee that this book will teach you something new.
From Jennifer's list on art newbies.
