Critics Review
”…this is a handy little guide book for the time-strapped tourist visiting New York. An excellent gift”“The perfect companion for the museum visitor in New York. This is the only book to provide an introduction in one volume to some of the most important paintings in the city’s public museums and galleries. Each of the one hundred well-chosen paintings is reproduced in full color and complemented by analysis that covers why, how, and where the work was painted. In accessible- at times irreverent- language, opinionated guides Deanna MacDonald and Geoff Smith also offer information on how to view and understand a painting.”
