3/25/12 Critical Lens “The right good book is always a book of travel; it is about a life’s journey”. This quote by H.M.

Chyanne Summerlin February 19‚ 2014 Reflection: Will Gompertz; What are you looking at? I enjoyed reading Gompertz book on modern arts. It was funny‚ witty and a helpful source to me‚ someone who doesn’t know too much of nothing about the arts. I learned a lot of different facts and core knowledge and even how some pieces came to be.
