About This Item
NY: Praeger Publishers, 1968. Soft cover. Very Good. Soft cover in very good condition. Text block clean and tight. No markings noted. Contains black and white and colored illustrations / photos of art throughout, all accompanied by an extensive narrative. * From the back cover, ""This deliberately concise history is something of a tour de force, intended to stimulate the expert as well as to guide the layman. Throughout, it is motivated by the author's belief in art as a vital activity and, therefore, as something that--in the words that open and close the book--""has not ceased to be produced."" Not a bare factual outline, it concentrates on individual works of art, whether a Minoan statuette, a Gothic reliquary, or a Raphael portrait. What is told is, in effect, the story of Western man's creative energy objects.""
