Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Thus 2nd Printing. BOOK: Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. 140 illustrations, including 86 plates in full color. SUB-TITLE: From Cave Painting to Modern Times. REVISED AND UPDATED BY: Anthony F. Janson. CONTENTS: 1. How Painting Began 2. The Middle Ages 3. Explorers and Discoverers 4. The Age of Genius 5. The Triumph of Light 6. Toward Revolution 7. The Age of Machines 8. Painting in Our Own Century; Index; List of Photographic Credits. SYNOPSIS: Freshly designed and brought up-to-date, this book is rare and beautiful as never before. A picture gallery with more - and larger - colorplates than in any other book of this sort, it unfolds the remarkable, even exciting story of how painting began and how it developed through the ages. This is no dry recital of dates and dull lists to burden the memory. Instead, readers will find a fascinating account of how people like themselves, over thousands of years, have expressed in pictures their hopes and dreams, their fears and fantasies, their beliefs, and what they thought was beautiful or noble, bitter or cruel. They will also find that this book is a wonderful guide to the enjoyment of pictures. It appeals to the natural curiosity of everyone who wants to discover and enjoy new experiences. And they will see the pictures, from the powerful images etched in the caves of our prehistoric ancestors right up to the most recent works of living artists whose names appear in our daily papers. The 140 illustrations - of which more than half are large colorplates - provide a collection of masterpieces that is unique. Many of the familiar triumphs of art are here - presented always with fresh insights - as well as works seldom reproduced except in scholarly publications, and some pictures never before reproduced anywhere. Included are types of art which are only now beginning to receive the attention they deserve-the painting of the Middle Ages, for instance, and Mannerism. And here the reader will find a simple, intelligible explanation of the art of our century, from Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism to Pop Art, Op Art, and Photo Realism. It would be hard to imagine authors better qualified than H. W. Janson and Dora Jane Janson for this exacting assignment: to write simply about things that are complicated. It is no easy task to adapt a vast fund of scholarship to the needs of the average intelligent layman; to maintain the highest level of authority while avoiding the twin pitfalls of easy generalization and condescension of tone. Dr. and Mrs. Janson, parents of four children and grandparents of one, provided for this book a text which can serve as a model of precision, clarity, and charm. Mrs. Janson, an art historian whose teaching has been in the museum field, is a recognized authority on the history and technique of jewelry. Dr. Janson was one of America's outstanding scholars. With the assistance of his wife, he was the author of the famous History of Art, the text book that is known in fourteen languages throughout the world. Long the chairman of the Department of Fine Arts at New York University, Dr. Janson's wide experience led him to devise novel techniques to make his subject a vital reality to generations of pupils. His distinguished career was marked by the fellowships, awards, and honors of many kinds. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
