A concise and clearly organized manual to the history and world of art discusses various cultures, periods, and types of art and architecture, defines techniques and styles, and illustrates the many achievements of the Western art world's major figures. Clearly, this work is designed for the neophyte in the world of art appreciation. In simple terms, amplified by frequent color illustrations, the work traces the development of architecture, sculpture, and painting with discussions of styles and techniques. Cultural import and influence are examined in each section, and a time line serves to explore further the global scope of artistic activities. The biographies of major figures in the development of Western art range from Giotto to Moore, and all include small annotated illustrations.
