### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent Primer on Modern Art
  

*by F***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2015*

Finally I don't feel like a complete idiot when reading about or looking at modern art. This book addressed all the worrisome thoughts in my head about what actually constitutes "Art" and why I could not always tell if the criteria had been met to check the art box. I love that Grayson Perry doesn't take his potentially stuffy subject too seriously and has a tremendous and wry sense of humor (and of the absurd.) Recommended reading for anyone who feels a bit insecure about speaking at art openings or just looking at the exhibits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Funny and thoughtful guide to the strange world of the arts
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016*

Loved this! Perry is the perfect guide through the art landscape, particularly for outsiders new to the field, but also insightful and funny for those already in it. Lovely, thoughtful, irreverent, fun. Sad to have read it so quickly!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Humorous and On Point
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016*

This is a small book. That is written in a chatty style. And includes not too perfectly drawn cartoons. It is also right on the money with regard to the quirks, foibles and state of the contemporary art world. Grayson relates what he observes as the philosophies and practices common in today's art world. In a backhanded way he swipes at some of those practices, while saying that he - as an artist (craftsperson?) himself - is grappling with those things too. I highly recommend reading this book and also Seven Days in the Art World. Those who have given this book a one-star rating are trying too hard... Maybe they need a dry, art history textbook. If they would take a deep breath, perhaps a sip of a well fermented adult beverage, then just relax and read not only what is said and drawn in this little gem but also what is written between the lines, then they will grasp the essence of the contemporary art world.
