Instructively organized, beautifully written, and edited to include representive artists in painting, sculpture, and architecture, even "environmental art," over the most significant Western styles and periods, this general text glows with some of the best reproductions of visual art ever produced. The first two chapters, Why Do We Study Art and The Language of Art, provide marvelous distillations of themes and ideas that recur throughout the history. The artful coincidence between the intelligence of the author and the skills of the publisher will enrich all readers, providing endless pleasure.¤ 2) Paperback Book History of Western Art w/ Core Concepts CD-ROM V 2.5 by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages. My order was a new book, perfect condition and arrived very quickly.¤ 3) Paperback Book History of Western Art w/ Core Concepts CD-ROM V 2.5 by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages. Excellent textbook. Full of quality photos of the art in focus. The information is in great quality and to the point.¤ 4) Paperback Book History of Western Art w/ Core Concepts CD-ROM V 2.5 by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages. In a word - comprehensive. This book is beautiful from cover to cover and covers most of what you would expect, but adds detail in terms of comparing works of art in small side bars. A painting of a reclining Venus is brought up in sections covering later time periods to show the influence early art work had on the pieces of the day. A significant covering of 20th century art is also important to note as with that period now closed, we can see that it is more than just about Campbell´s soup cans by Worhal.
I had the misfortune of having the flu but the recovery passed quickly as I spent literally most of the day reading through this book and reaquainting myself with the foundations of art. Now I see the influence of various forms of art in almost everything around me. As a designer I like to think that what I produce is new. Of course the best design borrows from the past...even if its a web page layout or corporate brocure. This coffee table sized book inspires me to realign and recognize that great art is to be inspiring as well as revolutionary.
I can hardly wait to get into the CD ROM again, which on first pass seems to beg for another sick day.¤ 5) Paperback Book History of Western Art w/ Core Concepts CD-ROM V 2.5 by McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages.
