Publisher's Synopsis
Smart, sharp and witty, this book gives a unique twist to Art History, summing up the work of well-known figures in five succinct (and strictly rhyming) lines. Among poetic forms, the limerick is the happy hand-grenade: short, funny and explosive. To take the name of an artist and to find the perfect rhyme is to make a memorable and enduring association, and Angus Reid has done so to share the joke, and to share a passion for Art. In this first volume of four, he lobs his first barrage of twenty five into the solemn temples.
