内容简介
Since its first publication this book has been hailed as the
most up-to-date and wide-ranging history of art ever published in a
single volume. This quote from Andrew Graham Dixon describes the
book: 'Spanning continents and millennia, ranging from man's
earliest cave paintings to the works of Picasso and beyond, this is
a hugely ambitious book. But thanks to the breadth of their
scholarship, the depth of their enthusiasm and the enviable
freshness of their writing, Honor and Fleming triumphantly
accomplish the herculean task they have set themselves.
Sympathetically expanded by Michael Archer, who brings the story
forward into the twenty-first century, this thumping slab of tome
is without doubt the most compelling total history of art ever
written'. This Revised Seventh Edition expands the original
coverage by embracing new developments in archeology and art
historical research, and in particular contemporary art historian
Michael Archer has greatly expanded the authors discussion of the
art world over the past two decades, providing a new perspective on
the latest developments shaping our cultural history.
