Book Review: Wall Paintings
"Pages are well-designed with a paragraph about the painting and a section which gives some background information. Another section, "Eye Spy," is a twist of the docent-led museum visit where key elements are called to the viewer's attention. This is a useful addition to the art shelves...RECOMMENDED."
