Guide to the Art Museums of New York: The guide that explains the art

There is an "Art Boom" going on in the USA and Europe and nowhere is it greater that in New York City. Although art works have enormous emotional and intellectual appeal they are the most difficult and time-consuming sight-seeing; they don't reveal their meaning easily, and thousands of them can be displayed in one museum. Some explanation is needed for the art works that most museum-goers want and expect to see, which this art guide does in a style that is easy to read and use. * quality paperback, 5x7 1/4", 300 pages, 10 ounces, lightweight, durable, fits easily into pocket or purse * gives information on hours of admission and facilities * provides room-by-room guides through the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Frick Museum, Whitney Museum, Guggenheim Museum, and Metropolitan Museum of Art * identifies and discusses over 358 works of art and the 152 artists who created them * provides exclusive "Brevi Tours" to give museum-goers the opportunity to shorten time spent in galleries

5ENTERTAINING NEW GUIDE  Dec 15, 2009
By Elizabrie
Appreciating art just got easier with David Lawrence Morton's entertaining new Guide.
Now when I visit the major art museums in NYC I take along this lightweight paperback
to navigate my way to the masterpieces of fine painting and sculpture.
With this handy conversational guide I can better understand the meaning of the work,
it's historical importance, and find out more about the artist.
Also, when you're on a schedule, check out Morton's special Brevi Tour to zero in on
selected highlights of the best in art.
