 |  Gilbert's Living with Art, 6/e Mark Getlein
Feature Summary- A Higher Standard: Not only a book about art, but also an artfully made book, Gilbert's Living with Art has earned a reputation for elegance and the highest standards of quality. The extraordinary attention to detail can be seen in the gorgeous cover, the high-quality paper, and the Smythe sewn binding for durability. This meticulous care ensures that every illustration is on or facing the page on which it is discussed -- the reader never needs to flip the page. In addition to this craftsmanship, the sixth edition delivers the most accurate color reproductions ever.
- A Comprehensive Introduction to the visual arts from several perspectives: themes and purposes of art; the vocabulary of art; individual art media (painting, drawing, camera arts, sculpture, architecture, etc.); and the chronological history of art.
- Richly Illustrated: The text includes over 700 images drawn from a wide range of cultures and time periods.
- Contextual: Related Works boxes in the art history chapters use small photos in the margins as visual cross-references to works covered in other parts of the book, drawing them into the historical discussion.
