The book first underscores the elements of vision and form in the arts, hunters of the Old Stone Age, and African tribal sculpture, including the art of primitive societies and African sculpture. Suggested readings are presented to further stress the points of the elements of the arts and its evolution and development in various ages and cultures. The text then elaborates on the Amerindian art of Mexico and South America, Egyptian art, and the classical art of Rome and Greece. The book notes that the Amerindian cultures have produced a lot of very fine art, painting, architecture, and sculpture that have caught the attention of artists, thinkers, scholars, and writers since their discovery by the Spaniards. The Egyptians not only excelled in mathematics, medicine, surgery, astronomy, physics, and law but also in architecture and the arts. The Romans have also contributed a lot to the development of art and architecture.
The manuscript takes a look at medieval art, the Renaissance, Chinese art, and the post-Renaissance in Europe.
The publication is a fine reference for students and researchers interested in the evolution of the arts.

Store description
Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn’t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them. For more information on what we do, or how you can help, go to books4cause.com…
