Art by Robert Cumming

Art: A Visual History is the complete visual guide to Western art, now updated and repackaged in a themed slipcase.

How to tell Impressionism from Expressionism, a Degas from a Monet, early Medieval art from early Christian? Art: A Visual History explains it all -- painting, sculpture, great artists, styles, and schools -- and will help you answer the question, What makes great art?

Art: A Visual History includes:

- More than 650 artists and all the major schools and movements, all arranged chronologically.
- Close-up focus on 22 masterpieces, from Ancient Greek sculpture to 1960s Pop Art.
- Well-known icons along with lesser-known gems -- carefully chosen to illuminate the points made in the text.
- Features on major schools and movements to explore and explain their stylistic trademarks, characteristics, and favored subjects.

Art: A Visual History is a knowledgeable, thought-provoking, and accessible tour of the creators of Western art.

Robert Cumming worked at the Tate Gallery in London before moving to Christie's. He is now an independent writer, lecturer, and organizer of exhibitions and television programs.
