## Description

Art: A Visual History [Cumming, Robert] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Art: A Visual History

Review: A wonderful study reference - Alas, at university, I was only able to take one art history class. It left me thirsting for more. Now, as an older individual, I am pursuing the study of art history at home on my own time. I bought two books which have been invaluable to my studies. One is the Oxford Dictionary of Art and the second one is this book, Art: A Visual History. This book is like an encyclopedia as it gives a brief synopsis of the entire history of art with small biographies of each renowned artist and clear color photos of their work along with which of their art is remarkable in the advancement of art. All the major movements are discussed though not in deep detail so you can quickly reference a topic's major facts with information on more in-depth reading. I've amassed a large library of art books in my study of art history, but this one is a handy & useful reference tool.
Review: Very informative art history read about artists - I’ enjoyed the quick short descriptions of the artists and what to look for in their works.
