KBAQ's Randy Kinkel reviews "Why a painting is like a pizza" by Nancy G. Heller, a smart and funny book about appreciating modern art.

"The first time she made a pizza from scratch, art historian Nancy Heller made the observation that led her to write this entertaining guide to contemporary art. Comparing modern art not only to pizzas but also to traditional and children's art, Heller shows us how we can refine analytical tools we already possess to understand and enjoy even the most unfamiliar paintings and sculptures."
