![]() | Why a Painting Is Like a Pizza: A Guide to Understanding and Enjoying Modern Art The first time she made a pizza from scratch, art historian Nancy Heller made the observation that led her to write this entertaining guide to contemporary art. Comparing modern art not only to pizzas but also to traditional and children's art, Heller shows us how we can refine analytical tools we already possess to understand and enjoy even the most unfamiliar paintings and sculptures. Nancy G. Heller is Professor of Art History at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. The author of Women Artists: An Illustrated History and Women Artists: Works from the National Museum of Women in the Arts , Heller has received awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Smithsonian Institution. |
