Great for Artists (PAINTERS)
For painters this is an excellent book in looking at contemporary painting inspiration or even just some of the issues. As I am taking a contemporary painting course this book on the side helps me when I need further information or perhaps a better explanation (if the artist is indeed in the book)

Gift ( zabetto )
I purchased this very interesting and unique book as a review for
a grad student. It was well-received, but I regret that it had small type.

 Real social-political and social-cultural map of the world
This book represents not the new perspectives in painting but typical self-centred mentality of cultural colonialism of USA`s and EU`s big countries.
I think it is slightly arrogant...
