A survey of Western thought about art from ancient times to the present, this volume covers the major periods of Western art history: Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the early modern period (Renaissance and Baroque), the Enlightenment, the 19th century, early 20th-century modernism, and postmodernism.
Presented chronologically, the subjects in this volume range from Impressionism in the nineteenth century to Earth Art, Sound Art, and Internet Art in the twenty-first.
This edition has been carefully revised to expand and clarify concepts throughout the text, while adding new material on developing ideas, critical thinking, and time and motion.
Focuses on seven important themes that have recurred in art over the past few decades: identity, the body, time, place, language, science, and spirituality.
Brings to life the history of art, from prehistoric times to the present day, with analyses of works of art, artists, patrons, and techniques from around the world.
