Art History

Covering Western art from the ancient Greeks to the present day, this dictionary contains clear and concise entries on styles and movements, materials and techniques, and museums and galleries. It also includes biographical entries for artists, critics, collectors, dealers, and patrons, with places and full dates of birth and death (in many instances correcting misinformation that has found its way into other sources).

"Both an exposition and a demonstration of contested terms from the current art historical vocabulary."

A systematic, reliable and accessible reference guide to the disciplines of art history and visual culture.
