SynopsisThis classic book uses an exceptional art program, featuring impeccable accurate five-color illustrations, to introduce readers to the vast world of painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, and the minor arts. With its effectively written, balanced, and interesting narrative, this book presents art as a succession of styles--from Prehistory through the 20th century--and enlarges the readers' capacity to appreciate works of art individually. Written more than 40 years ago, this text has been constantly reworked to respond to the needs of this ever-changing field. A reference work suitable for those employed in all art media, including painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects.
I took a History of Art class when attending college in Colorado many years ago. This was the textbook we used in class. I have no idea what happened to my copy but when I saw this for sale, I bought it immediately. It’s a great, historical publication spanning the time of cave paintings in France to modern day art. So much to read and to look at. It’s just a great resource.
Shit book no women in the history of art until 3rd edition 1986
Bought the book to destroy! Rather to make some feminist art of! Can't believe it took the writer's son until 1986 to put women in the history of art! Also can't believe this was the most widely used book in universities... total bull shit! I will enjoy turning it into pulp!
