DK Art That Changed the World: Transformative Art Movements and the Paintings That Inspired Them

Large format, with loads of beautifully presented photos of art and clear and easy to understand descriptions. A good book for a novice to gain a good understanding of art through the ages.

Um excelente retrato sobre a história da arte com ilustrações e figuras com grande qualidade. Recomendo demais!

You an read and learn all ages in one book, very well summarised and explained for someone who needs to get an understanding without getting lost in too much detail.Happy to have this book

This is quite the summary of art history. It's chronological, with each important trend explained in an introductory blurb, followed by a timeline and the major artists and works in each. The book is heavily illustrated (and it's a heavy book!), showing one or two of the primary works of most significant artists. The bios of the artists are quite brief, but enough to put the artist in historical timeframe and show the influences on the artists' work. I enjoyed reading through, which took quite a while as I tried to absorb all the information, and learned a great deal. While some people will browse through, quickly, looking at the pictures mostly, the text is informative and helps put the art works in context. This is not a light read, if you want to read the text, but it's well written and interesting. Nice book!

The book covers crucial art movement with representative art works, which was attached with social changes. It is a great book.

the book was shipped from the US without hassle. and printing quality is decent. No complain so far.
