" "Like Theseus's string guiding him the Minotaur's labyrinth, Art in Time leads the reader through the most important styles, schools and movements from art history, and how each movement built upon its predecessor. Understand how the disobediences of the day impacted on the world of art." - Vanity Fair "Beautifully produced. . . An absorbing and enlightening gallop through art. The careful balance of digestible chunks of information with beautiful images makes this equally rewarding as a dip-into coffee table book or a cover‐to‐cover read." - Royal Academy of Arts Magazine ", "Beautifully produced...

Synopsis
An up-to-date and comprehensive guide to 150 of the most significant styles and movements that have shaped art history through time. All art is of its time, and this book is the first survey that explicitly embeds styles, schools and movements within the politics and culture in which they arose, by means of timelines, textual references and the unique present-to-past arrangement of the book. An essential guide to art styles and movements and a history of world art from the present day to Greek antiquity, this book places the reader in the art historian's seat, offering an opportunity to work backwards from our own time and reconnect the dots, or even find new dots to connect. It revives art history, for both the specialist and the general reader coming to the subject with limited knowledge - it shows graphically that art history is a living thing, not dead., Art in Time is the first book to embed art movements within the larger context of politics and history. Global in scope and featuring an innovative present‐to‐past arrangement, the book's accessible text looks back on the most significant art styles and movements, from the present day to antiquity. Pages of historical photographs, documents, newspaper headlines, and other ephemera evoke the times in which styles and movements arose. The book opens with The Information Age (Internet Art, Neo‐Expressionaism, Arte Povera) and closes with The Classical Age (Roman wall painting, Hellenistic Greek style), covering everything from Photorealism, Art Brut, Ukiyo‐e, and Byzantine style in between. An integrated timeline provides a linear thread throughout the book, while succinct, authoritative text illuminates key points., An up-to-date and comprehensive guide to 150 of the most significant styles and movements that have shaped art history through time.

    Item exactly as described. It took a week after purchasing before it was shipped and another week in transit, yet the item was only supposed to be about 100 miles away??? Other than slow shipping time, the item was priced to sell, packaged adequately for shipping and exact as advertised. Would purchase from this seller again.

    Seller great with communication. Only gripe I have is the media Mail shipping time. Domestic shipping within the US should not take over 2 weeks. I realize not the sellers fault but would be nice to have faster shipping option. Otherwise, good seller and item was as described.
