Watson-Guptill (1998), Edition: First Edition, 144 pages
Description
Assuming no previous knowledge on the part of the reader, this is a straightforward introduction to Western art, from the cave paintings of Lascaux to Damien Hirst's pickled ruminants. It explains techniques, identifies major art movements, includes a time-line which puts these in context, describes their aims and beliefs, and presents short biographies of the great masters. Significant works, illustrated in colour, are examined to show why and how they achieved their status.
