Understanding Art (For Everyone!)
Lindsay
A collection of books that give an intro to art theory across various themes and subgenres.
John Berger's Ways Of Seeing, based on a series of the same name (which is wonderful & free on youtube!) is a great starting point as its so accessible and he's such a gifted guide.
