The World of Art, From Aboriginal to American Pop, Renaissance Masters to Postmodernism

by Robert James Belton
The World of Art, From Aboriginal to American Pop, Renaissance Masters to Postmodernism
The World of Art, From Aboriginal to American Pop, Renaissance Masters to Postmodernism

Visual journey across diverse global art landscapes.

If you've ever felt daunted by the vast world of art, this book is your ticket to clarity. It doesn't just catalog famous paintings; it dives into the context and cultures that give each piece its heartbeat. From the raw spirituality of Aboriginal art to the bold statements of American Pop, you'll explore timelines and techniques that make each style a world of its own. It's like having a personal guide through the galleries of history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

This book covers the entire range of painted art from the thirteenth century to the modern day, reaching through the cradle of European discovery and the dynamo of North American art to traditional forms in the Far and Middle East. This unique approach and the powerful, arresting visual appeal of the wonderful paintings within provide a breathtaking degree of richness and diversity, unmatched by any comparable title. The core section is the A-Z by artist, giving equal prominence to traditional and modern artists from every part of the world. Each entry offers essential information about the artist, including influences, key works, and associated artists.
