Art Across Time, Vol. 2: The Fourteenth Century to the Present, 4th Edition 4th Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 124 ratings
See all formats and editions
Art across Time combines sound scholarship, lavish visuals, and a lively narrative to provide students with a comprehensive, accessible, and engaging introduction to Art History. Popular with majors and non-majors alike, the text offers readers more than a chronology of art by placing each work within the time-and-place context within which it was created. Encountering and interpreting a work of art in context offers the reader the richest possible experience of it. Large scale and high quality visual reproductions of artworks are often presented from multiple perspectives to enhance visual appeal and allow students to view details and elements of composition with greater ease. A thoughtful pedagogical approach helps students consider what they are viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I Needed

This is the book I needed for my course this semester, it costs a bit but I understand why. I sometimes wish I didnt have to buy it unless I was more into art but when it comes to a requirement for a course, I needed to buy it. So I still recommend it for people who want to learn about art history. It's an interesting book in my opinion.

Our professor stated this book had the best images out of all the references he has looked at. Pretty high praise I think! There are some inconsistencies though with some of the subjects and which time period they represent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shallow overview of too much information but...
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013

This book saved my life in ARH 102 at ASU. The lecture was so awful and full of inaccuracy I could barely tolerate listening to it. Luckily this book contained basically the same info as what we covered in lecture and I managed to eek out an A by 7/10ths of a percent.

Unfortunately the copy I received as a loaner from Amazon was already falling apart -- the binding was broken and several pages were nearly falling out already... After a weeks use an entire chapter fell out in a chunk. The "Good condition" rating they gave it may have been a bit optimistic.

So this was a required textbook for a college class. However, the book was not dry and boring. I actually enjoyed reading the book because it was well organized and informative.
