AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF ART

An Illustrated History of Art takes readers around the world on a region-by-region journey to see how art in its manifold ways developed - from the earliest rock paintings and primitive statuary to the glories of the medieval and Renaissance periods, the elegance of Chinese and Japanese dynastic styles, the flourishing of the Baroque and Rococco schools and the sea changes of Impressionism, Cubism and Expressionism.
