What's so special about Dutch paintings of cheese? When does Art Nouveau become Art Deco? Why were the Pre-Raphaelites obsessed with gingers? Find out in one sentence with comedian and art historian Verity Babbs.
'Heaps of fun, and endlessly fascinating - a must read for any history of art enthusiast. Utterly brilliant.' Alice Loxton
Verity Babbs journeys through 50 key art movements across history, answering ten questions for each in just one sentence at a time. Within these fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, nuggets of art wisdom, Verity covers everything from who inspired the movement and its impact on history, to the key artists and artworks for each.
Spanning 500 years – from the Renaissance to the Young British Artists – this book is for anyone who wants to learn more about art and also have a laugh along the way. It won't answer everything, nor will you be a genius by the end of it, but you will feel a little less lost next time you're in a gallery or museum and will most likely become a whole lot more helpful on your pub quiz team.

'Equally amusing and enlightening, this brilliant book offers an answer for every art question you've wanted to ask, plus those you're yet to think of while standing in a museum' Ruth Millington
'Packed with facts and a lively wit that would have the Mona Lisa grinning' Chris Turner
'Verity Babbs has done the impossible - taken a very high-brow, highly edumacated topic and stripped it back into bite-size pieces that make absolute sense. Nothing daunting about this book - get stuck in!' Roo Irvine
