5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous, full-color presentation, November 8, 2002
This review is from: The History of Art in Pictures (Hardcover)
The History Of Art In Pictures by art critic Gilles Plazy is a gorgeous, full-color presentation offering an informative overview of the history of Western art focusing on an astounding visual gallery of classic works and artifacts. Brief captions supplement the lavish illustrations in this straightforward yet aesthetically enchanting tour. The History Of Art In Pictures is very highly recommended as an inexpensive but invaluable addition to any personal, school, and community library art history collection.
