I am looking for the very best guide to style in visual art that is currently available. I want excellent quality & well presented print reproduction of the art being discussed and engaging explanatory text that is not too academic. It's absolutely OK if the book centers entirely on painting.
Yes, this is probably what many people call a coffee-table style book but I'll use the example of what I think is the best way to design/publish cookbooks as an example - as the book lies open there would be a large format sharp image of the finished product on one page and the actual recipe with associated notes/comments on the other.
I think you get the idea. I want a great-to-look-at book but one that is a thorough and legitimate period/style/technique/etc. overview.
Thank you, in advance, for your recommendation.
