Art: The Definitive Visual Guide

Un libro de gran calidad. Muy buenas ilustraciones, muy didáctico para aquellos que nos gusta saber de cultura general.

Adorei! Livro lindo, com imagens lindas e informações bem legais! Achei bem completo. É grande e chama a atenção para ser usado na decoração.

An astoundingly beautiful and comprehensive book, Art: The Definitive Visual History lives up to its name.Each page is not only printed on glossy paper but in high resolution and full color, allowing the reader to get the best possible experience of every piece of art included. Many historically significant works are given a two page spread to truly showcase it without distraction.Additionally, the book shows thoughtful layout and design from table of contents and color coded sections to back glossary and extensive index. The format eases the reader into the art world in the first 22 pages (13-35) by exploring different elements of art in the Looking at Art, which breaks down complex ideas into single paragraph summaries with one to three explanatory art pieces as examples. All remaining pages (36-595) are dedicated solely to artists and their pieces broken down into sections by time period, then further categorized by either the region, theme, or movement to which each belongs.I simply cannot recommended this book highly enough. I took many art history and appreciation classes in college and wish I’d been assigned this book as it is so much better than the ones we read. If you can only afford to have one high quality art book on your shelf, this is it.

Good book , you can read it from the start or look at individual styles/times

Bon livre sur l art
