Book: Art Milestones

Real history is often a chronicle of firsts - the first act of an artist's self-portrait, the first capture of a smile on canvas, the first depiction of a real place, the very first work of feminist art, the initiatory creation of an anti-war artwork. Art thrives and renews itself through these simple yet groundbreaking creative inspirations.

This book brings together thirty revolutionary first works, taking a new approach to the analysis and appreciation of art. Each first is explained in a way that is understandable and gripping, easy to understand and accessible. The works are also fully illustrated, and their significance is made clear by images of subsequent artists who were inspired by them.

A refreshing and captivating read for all those who are curious about why so-called "masterpieces" have such significant relevance!
