30,000 Years Of Art
Don't be put off by its title or size. The story of human creativity across time and space, this book is a whole new way of looking at art. 1,000 color illustrations showcase the evolution of art all over the world, from all regions and cultures, in simple chronological order. (You'll find the Venus de Milo beside a mural from the Mayan civilization, and a ritual Nepalese plaque near Vermeer's Milkmaid.) Each work is accompanied by a concise description. Includes timelines, a glossary, and an index. "This is the kind of book that can hook a 10‑year‑old for life or steer adults toward new territory"‑New York Times. Hardcover, 1072 pages.
