5.0 out of 5 stars awesome, September 10, 2008
this book is awesome! but be careful it is the right version. this a double volume book and you can just purchase volume one or volume two of the 7th Ed.... though it's a lot cheaper to buy both bound together

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive survey of art history, October 27, 2007
By B. Treml (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this to supplement my art history course. It has everything I need to know as someone just starting out in the study of the field. I really enjoy the layout and photos. Highly recommended by my art history professor and now myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything but the kitchen sink--and it might be a found object!, April 3, 2008
"Janson's History of Art" contains a comprehensive story of the human effort to communicate in an aesthetic manner. Art is the communication of imagination and ideas. It is an effort at adorning self and environment. It is the expression of man's reality, whether realistic or symbolic. H.W. Janson and his successors show us this unfolding story in this 824 page volume.

When I taught art history in a fine arts survey course at the high school level, this was my art bible--one of the best. Its use as instruction for me and pictures of art for the student made "History of Art" completely invaluable. This was my teaching tool, along with so many other art books.

Highest recommendation!
