Anne M's review of Art of the Western World: From Ancient Greece to Post Modernism
Art of the Western World: From Ancient Greece to Post Modernism by Bruce Cole
The title sounds like a text book for your standard Art History introductory survey course. It is a much better read than that. The author explores art throughout history in context - it is therefore a history from not just an art perspective but from a geography/anthropology perspective as well. Also, the author does a great job developing the reader's experience of art generally and of particular works specifically. A great read to enhance the art experience for the nonartist reader (like me).
