A minor aside from the off - I loved the timeline and the absolutely not subtle editorializing therein.

I have a much treasured and never used undergrad minor in art, so I'm not a complete noob to the subject, but this still had such an impressive number of entries that were new to me, so I'm absolutely impressed with the scope of the project. This is definitely a text I'd love to have on the shelf for easy reference.
If their next dictionary project was to artists rather than art terms I would also 100% waitlist for that one - as I'm a fan of the podcast and I really enjoy their analyses.

The only criticism I'd offer here, is that (though the authors do a solid job of explaining their examples) art is a visual medium - and when you can't see the concept in action/example, it is harder to really take it in. But, I imagine the costs to include reference photos would have been prohibitive and and yeah, the book sparks curiosity (as they mentioned was a goal), so perhaps there is your silver lining to a slight issue.

My thanks to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the arc to review.

A vary basic overview of some of the art movements. Not a lot of detail, a distinct avoidance of mentioning all but the most well known artists.
