Gardner's Art through the Ages: A Concise Global History Details
Review "Gardner's texts have always allowed the students a more intellectual look at the contexts surrounding the art and the time period. These texts allow for a condensed approach, without the 'dumbing down' that is found in other art history texts." Read more About the Author Fred S.

Reviews
I needed this as a rental for an art history course. They sure do cram an awful lot of info, including many many pictures, into this book, which probably weighs 10 pounds. If you want to know everything you could possibly want to know about art history, get it and settle in for a very long read!
