Art: The Definitive Visual Guide

Extensive information, this book has lot of information in the subject, greatly composed, excellently explained the topic with variety of example and supporting evidence, i will highly suggest you to get this book if you wan to know the whole history and evolution of art through time

Very informative and the paper quality is best. Love it. Full premium vibes. An art lover must have this book.

The book cover is stunning. The content is very informative and easy to navigate through. It covers pretty much everything I learned in art school and more. Perfect for people who want to broaden their art knowledge.

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.

Worth every penny
