Customer Reviews

Very pleased

The quality of this book is exactly as it was described by the seller. It arrived quickly. :-)

Beautiful and Informative

This book was for a class, so I had to get it--but I really did enjoy it. Clearly written, beautifully illustrated. One of my treasured resource books.

Encouraging and inclusive book!

Finally, an art book which includes not just female artists but also art from more regions than Europe and Great Britain. This book is consice and factual in its assessment of art history. Considering that the basic appreciation of art is subjective and therefore opinion based, Stokstad keeps her personal views to herself and merely reflects the views of each period or region which affected art (and therefore art history) and why certain types were popular. I would recomment this as a good expansive look at art history for students or art enthusiasts!

Great intro to art text

I was fortunate enough to take a class from Professor Stokstad; she is as great of an author as a teacher! This book is a perfect introduction to art of many cultures, not just Western art like Janson's chestnut "History of Art". This book provides the stepping stone for further exploration in the field of art history.
