For skeptics, art lovers, and the millions of us who visit art galleries every year—and are confused—What Are You Looking At? by former director of London's Tate Gallery Will Gompertz is a wonderfully lively, accessible narrative history of Modern Art, from Impressionism to the present day.

    What if you’ve popped into a gallery and happen upon the work, unaware of its relationship to Delacroix’s The Death of Sardanapalus? Well, it is still a powerful image and comment on modern life, with an intriguing composition and use of color. But the truth is that Postmodernist art rewards knowledge much like a cryptic crossword, where comprehension comes from solving the puzzle.

    Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) was an early exponent of the Postmodern art of parody and impersonation with her Untitled Film Stills series (1977–80) (see Fig. 31).
