- not my first read about definition of art, but this one is more from an American point of view
- gradually uncovers the author's definition, evolving into something indefinable
- packed with references and topics to study(movements, people) which can go way beyond the book
- I gained: the author's definition of art, how cameras changed painting, more about modernism and post-modernism, techniques and movements, American art particularly and its influence
- I'd recommend it for those who want to understand what artists do, modern art and art overall
