From Fra Angelico to Claude Monet, and from Gustav Klimt to Andy Warhol, this comprehensive tome surveys the astonishing development of the visual arts over the past 500 years. Along with overviews of such movements as rococo, impressionism, dada, and abstract expressionism, this whirlwind tour profiles hundreds of artists—Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Ingres, Seurat, Kahlo, Dalí, O'Keeffe—with capsule biographies and more than 500 color reproductions. Here too are samples of art from China, Japan, Africa, and Oceania, as well as the unique styles emerging from Islamic and Hindu cultures.
