About This Item
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2003. Hardcover, [xi], 777 pages. Near Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket. Size 10.25"x7.75". "This narrative account, from the earliest cave paintings up to the present day, has new things to say about almost every period of art. Taking account of changing scholarship and shifting opinions, Paul Johnson draws our attention to a number of neglected artists and styles, especially in Scandinavia, Germany, Russia and the Americas. He pays particular attention to key periods: the emergence of the artistic personality in the Renaissance, the new realism of the early seventeenth century, the discovery of landscape painting as a separate art form, and the rise of ideological art. He notes the division of 'fashion art' and fine art at the beginning of the twentieth century, and how it has now widened." Includes color reproductions, and index. Book has light exterior shelfwear. Binding is tight. Text is clean and unmarked. Dust jacket has moderate shelfwear.. Near Fine.
