About this product

Product Information

The Story of Art, one of the most famous and popular books on art ever written, has been a world bestseller for over four decades. Attracted by the simplicity and clarity of his writing, readers of all ages and backgrounds have found in Professor Gombrich a true master, and one who combines knowledge and wisdom with a unique gift for communicating his deep love of the subject. For the first time in many years the book has been completely redesigned. The illustrations, now in colour throughout, have all been improved and reoriginated, and include six fold-outs. The text has been revised and updated where appropriate, and a number of significant new artists have been incorporated. The bibliographies have been expanded and updated, and the maps and charts redrawn. The Story of Art has always been admired for two key qualities: it is a pleasure to read and a pleasure to handle. In these respects the new edition is true to its much-loved predecessors: the text runs as smoothly as ever and the improved illustrations are always on the page where the reader needs them. In its new edition, this classic work continues its triumphant progress tirelessly for yet another generation, to remain the title of first choice for any newcomer to art or the connoisseur.

  • A Complete and Easy to Read Guide to Art

    We are using this book as text for my Art History and Appreciation class. It is a very easy book to read and also has easy to digest material. The language is simple and to the point, no over dramatic art terminology. It will take you by the hand to teach you everything you need to know about art and its beginnings to basic design concepts and the art of doing a impeccable critique of an art work without feeling like a total fool. I find myself reading it on my spare time it is so interesting and entertaining. It is basically a "Once upon a time there was something beautiful called art..."

  • Best history of art book!
