A book written by a Spanish Art scholar whose stated intent was to bridge the gap between laymen and scholars and provide an example of how events in his own life helped him understand art history. While the book is good at detailing his own life, (indeed for a 150 page book maybe a little to in depth) he has a hard time connecting with the average lay reader. At the very beginning he delves into different modes of thought without explaining them properly. While a good book for a scholar, it really doesn't achieve his stated intent of reaching out to average readers
