Innovators in Painting

By Dianne L. Durante

How did artists progress from cave paintings (top image on the cover) to a work such as Lerolle's The Organ Rehearsal (lower image on cover)? To find out, we focus on innovations that gave the artist who created them - and all those who followed - greater power to make viewers stop, look, and think about their works. Included are more than 200 illustrations, some of whole paintings, some of fascinating details.

Who's this jargon-free book written for?

Anyone who is interested in art or art history, but is daunted by thousand-page art-history textbooks or two-semester courses that cover the art of every major civilization worldwide. This 140-page volume is art history in essentials.Anyone who wants a quick refresher before visiting a museum of Western art.Sculptors, painters, and graphic artists who want a big-picture view of the development of the expressive means that are available to them.Anyone who loves competence: this book is full of thinkers who find new ways to show others their distinctive point of view.

Innovators in Painting is a stand-alone work, but it's a perfect complement to Innovators in Sculpture.
