From ancient to modern - it gives a good summary. Not good for in-depth knowledge on specific topics. The broad range of topics led me to do my own research and helped me with Renaissance, Modern and American Art History courses.

Anyone who wants to gain some knowledge of art history should skim the text for terms to throw around in a museum to sound decently knowledgeable. The language is straight forward — heck it has I really did read this textbook cover to cover, for an AP Art History class.

The language is straight forward — heck it has pretty pictures, what else do you want? Jan 15, Brooke rated it really liked it. When I was in college as a freshman, this textbook was assigned for a survey class. It was the first textbook I've ever decided to keep and since then, I have read it almost entirely. I don't have an AH degree or anything like that, but as a enthusiast I wuld recommend it for anyone who aspires to broaden their understanding of the history of art.

It's easy to read, the annotations are terrific and I just really enjoy it. Jul 16, Christina rated it really liked it. Art Through the Ages was used during both of my Art History courses that I took in my undergraduate studio art program. I really enjoyed the sections of this book that we studied.

It gives a broad, yet comprehensive, view about how art has progressed over time and the historical events that influenced its development. I found it easy to read and understand and really enjoyed the numerous color photos found through out the text. It's an extremely heavy book and not one I often wanted to carry aro Art Through the Ages was used during both of my Art History courses that I took in my undergraduate studio art program.

It's an extremely heavy book and not one I often wanted to carry around. However, I can say that it's also one of the only text books I kept from my college days because it contains such a wealth of useful information.

This one is for me. This book opened up an entire world when I first read it in high school, creating a passion for art history that has carried over to me for these past four, nearly five, years. Without this book, I wouldn't have had the multitude of positive experiences at museums and art sites around the world. I would not have gained so much appreciation and wisdom.

This book, frankly, is the best to introduce yourself to the wonderful world of human creation and to create an insatiable desire to learn more about the human experience as seen through art.

This was my college text book. The current editors at the time were my college professors. I've read this and re-read this countless times through my life time. Like all great history books there are newly discovered names every time you re-read it. Fabulous general reference. View all 5 comments.

Jul 25, Ellen rated it it was amazing. I had to read the entire book in a school year for my art history class, and although there was a lot to get through, it is a quality textbook. Interesting to read with a good format and a large amount of information. I would recommend it to anyone into art history with a need for a compendium of all art from prehistoric to 20th century.

I read this book in college and found it to be very educational and enjoyable. I have enjoyed pulling this book out for review several times since then. This a non-fiction book with a collection of stories about the Los Angeles art gallery in the s.

It has a eurocentric focus, but the amount of work that is covered here is staggering dating back to the hunter gatherer days of our ancestors to contemporary art in the modern world. Art really is the best way to experience culture from around the world across time.

Some of the paintings and architecture coming out of Ancient Egypt and Rome in particular were mesmerizing.

The level of detail and emotion that we humans have been able to capture through creative work is truly breath taking and is something we can all take pride in as it's part of our heritage as a collective. I truly believe we should all find it within us in our lifetime to contribute to the arts in our own way as it allows us to connect with humanity in a meaningful way to reflect the times that we're in and how we're evolving intellectually.

Art has a way of surviving long after we're gone which is a really beautiful thing as the spirit of the artist remains and will continue to inspire.
