Book Description
In tune with today's readers–rich but never effete–this is the art history book of choice for a new generation. Presenting a broad view of art through the centuries, it sympathetically and positively introduces the works of all artists. This includes women, artists of color, and the arts of other continents and regions, as well as those of Western Europe and the United States. The new edition contains even more full-color reproductions, larger images, redrawn maps and timelines, and new photographs and higher quality images. Balancing both the traditions of art history and new trends of the present, Art History is the most comprehensive, accessible, and magnificently illustrated work of its kind. Broad in scope and depth, this beautifully illustrated work features art from the following time periods and places: prehistoric art in Europe; ancient art of the Near East, Egypt, the Aegean, and Greece; Roman and Etruscan art; Jewish, early Christian, and Byzantine art; Islamic art; art from ancient India, China, Japan, and the Americas; medieval art in Europe; Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance art; Baroque art; art of the Pacific cultures; the rise of modern art; and the international Avant-Garde since 1945. An excellent reference work and beautiful edition for any visual artist.

Ha ha!
Finished with the class (for now).
Since the class was a 4-week condensed version of Art History, we skipped around a lot. We read:

Ch. 1 - 6: Prehistoric Art through Roman Art
Ch. 14 - Early Medieval Art of Europe
Ch. 15 - Romanesque Art
Ch. 16 - Gothic Art

That leaves some twenty-plus chapters unread. I may take the second Art History class sometime in the future so I'll keep this book. Heck, I might even read it on my own.
I like art.
