Description






Art history is more than just a collection of dates and foreign-sounding
names, obscure movements and arcane isms. Every age, for the last 50,000
years has left its unique imprint on the world, and from the first cave
paintings to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, from the Byzantine
mosaics of the Hagia Sophia, to the graffiti-inspired paintings of Jean
Michel Basquiat, art history tells the story of our evolving notions of
who and what we are and our place in the universe.Whether you're an art
enthusiast who'd like to know more about the history behind your favorite
works and artists, or somebody who couldn't tell a Titian and a De Kooning
but would like to--"Art History For Dummies" is for you. It takes you on
a tour of thirty millennia of artistic expression, covering the artistic
movements, major artists, and indispensable masterworks, and the world
events and cultural trends that helped spawn them. With the help of
stunning black-and-white photos throughout, and a sixteen-page gallery
of color images, it covers: The rise and fall of classical art in Greece
and RomeThe differences between Renaissance art and MannerismHow the
industrial revolution spawned RomanticismHow and why Post-Impression
branched off from ImpressionismConstructivism, Dadaism, Surrealism and
other 20th century ismsWhat's up with today's eclectic art scene
