Synopsis

“A fascinating insight... beautifully illustrated.” ★★★★★

Exploring Art History is an accessible introduction to some of the most pivotal topics in art history and appreciation.

Beginning with the core qualities that make up a work of art, Exploring Art History leads the reader through some of the key themes and moments that have helped to shape art history as we know it. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gallery visitor, this book will give you a greater understanding when looking at art.

Learn how traditional artists used sources of inspiration and consider some of art history's wider questions such as:

• How did symbols in art emerge?
• What exactly was the Renaissance?
• How did Modern Art begin?
• What was Romanticism in art history?
• Who says what art is?

And there's more. Learn why ancient Greek and Roman art is so revered. Find out how abstract art evolved. And ask “Is art subjective or objective?”

Not intended as a history of art per se, this illustrated guide will help take your interest forward, and give you insight into what lies behind the wider story of art.
