A Daily Dose

摘要

I've mentioned before in this space, my education in landscape architecture pulled up lame when it came to instruction in art and art history. That shortfall has bothered me greatly as my career has progressed, but the silver lining is that I've been motivated to seek out sources I can use to teach myself what I think I need to know. My latest find in this campaign is a wonderful book designed specifically to prompt personal voyages of exploration: It's called The Daily Book of Art: 365 Readings That Teach, Inspire and Entertain (Walter Foster Publishing, 2009) and delivers on its title's promise by providing a year's ration of 200-word descriptions of art and artists from a variety of thought-provoking perspectives.
