Warja Lavater is best known for her symbolic reinterpretations of fairy tales. In this book she takes a different tack, using words, symbols, and representational images to tell the story of Western Art throughout history. Her protagonist, a painter called 'The Disobedient', begins work in the Stone Age and proceeds up through Pop Art.
