The Story of Art
by
by
This book is just a story, not Art, nor history of Art:
1, Most are personal views and opinions.
2, More than half of the book is about Art after 16th century.
E.g, his review to Paolo Uccello "Battle of San Romano", (1439), Giotto di Bondone "Lamentation over the Dead Christ" (1303) is so childish and amateurish. Even more, for "Descent from the Cross" by Rogier van der Weyden, Gombrich may have possibly misundertood the meaning and perpose of the artist's composition of the figures and space arrangement of the painting.
Lots of surprising but questionable opinions:
"there is not Art, only Artist", really?
"From his day onwards the history of art,......, is the history of the great artists" really?
