An enthusiastic, conversational book detailing the author's love of art. It suffers a bit from a lack of reproductions -- as much as he insists that reproductions can't convey the brilliance of a piece of art, it would have been nice to see more of his favorites, particularly when it comes to artists who have not achieved the level of fame he expected. But the book did get me itching to go to more museums and galleries, and to buy more art, which seems to be exactly what he intended! (
