What’s so special about Dutch paintings of cheese? When does Art Nouveau become Art Deco? Why were the Pre-Raphaelites obsessed with gingers? This book journeys through 50 key art movements, answering ten questions for each in just one sentence. Fascinating and hilarious, these nuggets of art wisdom cover everything from who inspired a movement and its impact on history to the key artists and artworks in each. Spanning 500 years from the Renaissance to the Young British Artists, it won’t answer everything, nor will you be a genius by the end of it, but you might feel a little less lost next time you visit a gallery or museum and might even become a star in your pub quiz team.
