Description

Ideas in Profile: Small Introductions to Big Topics Art has always been
part of history. But we often think of it as outside history. When we look
at a painting by Raphael, Rembrandt or Rubens it speaks to us directly, but
it's also an historical document, part of a living world. Renowned art
historian Martin Kemp takes the reader on an extraordinary trip through
art, from devotional works to the revolutionary techniques of the
Renaissance, from the courtly Masters of the seventeenth century through to
the daring avant-garde of the twentieth century and beyond. Along the way
we encounter the great names of art history: Leonardo da Vinci and
Michelangelo; Vermeer and Velasquez; Picasso and Pollock. We get under the
skin of the many 'isms', schools, styles and epochs. We see the complex
sweep of art history with its innovations, collaborations, rivalries,
break-throughs and masterpieces. Above all, Kemp puts art in context; art
isn't about disembodied images, art itself is history. Part of the Ideas in
Profile series, uniquely enlivened with animations and illustrations from
the award winning studio Cognitive Media, Art in History is an
indispensable, accessible and richly detailed guide to our culture, our
history, our heritage and our art. Also available in two ebook formats.
Please note that ISBN 9781782831020 is for the usual ebook format and
9781781254110 is for an enhanced edition with additional video and audio
which should be used only with tablet devices that are capable of playing
this additional content.
