Appropriate for one-semester
art history survey or historically-focused art appreciation classes, A History
of Western Art offers online support, additional color plates, and a number
of new text features in this third edition.
As the name implies, History
of Western Art focuses on the Western canon of art history and presents a compelling
chronological narrative from prehistory to the present. In the third edition,
the Western narrative is supplemented by new boxed essays, "Beyond the
West," that address specific techniques or movements of Nonwestern art.
These essays augment the Western chronology by illustrating moments of thematic
relationships and cross-cultural contact.
