An Illustrated History of Art

In ‘An Illustrated History of Art’, award-winning art historian Susie Hodge takes a wide-ranging look at the history of art across the world, richly illustrated with full-colour examples throughout. Taking readers around the world on a region-by-region journey to see how art in its manifold ways developed, this book features everything from the earliest rock paintings and primitive statuary to the glories of the medieval and Renaissance periods, the elegance of Chinese and Japanese dynastic styles, the flourishing of the Baroque and Rococco schools and the sea changes of Impressionism, Cubism and Expressionism.
