The Concise History of Art: A Global View: Prehistory to the Present

Offering the same versatility, richly-illustrated digital resources and pedagogical features of the longer book, The Concise History of Art: A Global View provides a valuable option for shorter courses. Its forty-four chapters, presented in four chronological parts, provide a coherent structure to this briefer coverage. Each part begins with a brief chapter that lays out the major themes of that chronological era. These thematic chapters set the stage for artworks found in the regionally-focused chapters within each part. Because chapters were designed to be taught in any order, or skipped altogether, the book is flexible enough to be assigned in any course, whether it covers the entire globe or focuses on a specific region or regions.
