The Visual Arts: A History, Hardcover
Descriere
For over a quarter of a century this art historical tour de force has consistently proved the classic introduction to humandkind's artistic heritage. From our Paleolithic past to our digitised present, every continent and culture is covered in an articulate and well-balanced discussion--a broad and epic canvas that omits none of the fine detail. In this Revised Seventh Edition, contemporary art historian Michael Archer has brought the account of contemporary art up to date, reflecting the latest developments that continue to shape out cultural history.
Despre autor
Hugh Honour, FRSL, a fost un istoric de artă britanic, cunoscut pentru colaborarea sa cu John Fleming. Cei doi au scris „A World History of Art”, care se află acum în a șaptea ediție, iar „Chinoiserie: The Vision of Cathay” (1961) al lui Honour a stabilit pentru prima dată fenomenul chinoiserie în contextul său cultural european.
