Product Description

In tune with today's readers–rich but never effete–this is the art history book of choice for a new generation. Presenting a broad view of art from the early Renaissance in Europe through the Avant Garde since 1945, it sympathetically and positively introduces the works of all artists. This includes women, artists of color, and the arts of other continents and regions, as well as those of Western Europe and the United States. The new edition contains even more full-color reproductions, larger images, redrawn maps and timelines, and new photographs and higher quality images. Balancing both the traditions of art history and new trends of the present, Art History is the most comprehensive, accessible, and magnificently illustrated work of its kind. Broad in scope and depth, this beautifully illustrated work features art from the following time periods and places: Renaissance art; Baroque art; art of the Pacific cultures; the rise of modern art; and the international Avant-Garde since 1945. An excellent reference work and beautiful edition for any visual artist.

Customer Reviews

Never Received Book!
I ordered this book and never received it. After the appropriate time had passed, I contacted the seller. It was stated that the book had indeed been shipped. I allowed more time to pass in order to file a dispute after having contacted the seller 2 more times and never hearing back. I'm not sure what happened with this order, but it ended up being more trouble than it's worth.

Great experience
Working with this vendor was great. The product was exactly as described, it was delivered quickly and they answered my questions promptly.

Took forever to arrive, but a great purchase
It took forever for this book to get here by mail, but when it did it was certainly worth the wait. Filled with information and pictures.
