I bought this book for my Art History Survey I & II courses, and was surprised at how well I read it. Usually I say, "I'm gonna do my readings and do great in class!" but in all actuality I attempt to read and get bored then start to do something else. This book reads almost like Spark Notes to other Art History books, leaving you with a lot of important information about the subject and little tedious details that you won't need in class. I even substituted this book for the one required for my contemporary art history course and did very well in it, I would recommend this book to any Art/Art History major. It's really well written, laid out, and interesting.

I bought this book for school, but continued reading it even after the course was over - great art history book!

I bought this book for my art history class and I absolutely love it! The book taught me many great things about the art pieces all around the world. It is like a whole new dimension of life that I have never experienced before! I wish one day I can see some art pieces in person to actually get a better sense of the art itself. I recommend this book to those who love art and who wants a better understanding from art of the past!
