I haven't read Civilization. The reviews seem very positive. Would you recommend it? The Nut Gatherers is even more amazing in person, of course. I never walk through the DIA without a visit.
Yeah, though it's based on a television series which author himself recommends that over the book. I'm not exactly a widely read man of art, but definitely enjoying it as an introduction. I picked it on Paul Graham's recommendation:Kenneth Clark was a star in his day, thanks to the documentary series Civilisation. And if you read only one book about art history, Civilisation is the one I'd recommend. It's much better than the drab Sears Catalogs of art that undergraduates are forced to buy for Art History 101.
