Art Attack

Art Attack: A Brief Cultural History of the Avant-Garde by Marc Aronson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not a lot of new information here for me, but it's an excellent introduction to the avant garde in the arts during the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. Written with teens & young adults as the target audience, it would also be appropriate for any layperson looking for a place to start on this subject. Very readable. Aronson has done well - the only way it would be better would be if the illustrations were in color.

The artwork is terrific! Reminiscent, but not a copy of the film. The story's very well told also with the confusion/instability in the perpetrator's mind being carried through the storytelling style as well. Recommended for those who enjoy the artwork of graphic novels as well as those who especially enjoy the German Expressionist films of the 1930s.
