L’Histoire de l’Art pour les Nuls
Nullissimes arrives in general culture, with this richly illustrated and incredibly educational chronology of art history.
Painting, sculpture, architecture, primitive arts… Tour the world of art through the centuries.
Here is a pedagogical chronology like no other for adults: each double page is drawn with one or more works of art on one page and compared to the pedagogical explanation on the artistic movement, with a more precise focus on analyses of works every 5 or 6 pages, to go further.
Written by Alexia Guggémos, art critic recognized by her contemporaries and author of numerous conferences to make contemporary art more affordable, this book will seduce you with its rich iconography and clear educational explanations.
How does one become the author of « L’Histoire de l’Art pour les Nuls « ?
AG. « A solid education at the Ecole du Louvre, countless texts as a critic and a passion for contemporary art that is nourished by encounters. Above all, an intuition from the very first hours of the Internet and social networks: new writings are to be explored. Creator and curator of the first virtual museum – dedicated to Smile – since 1996, Executive Director of the International Film Festival on the Internet in 2000, author of the guide « Social Media for Artists » in 2008, creator of the Observatory of the Social Web in Contemporary Art since 2011, trainer at CIPAC… More than 20 years defending new ideas, opening up gaps, always seeking new talents, disclosing best practices for a better control of its digital identity. Until the masterful « Nullissime » in 2018. My latest hobby: Art Students Week, an operation that invites art school students to publish their work on Instagram. Towards new gateways. »
