Appropriate for one-semester art history survey or historically-focused art appreciation classes, A History of Western Art offers an exciting new student study tool, additional color plates, and a number of useful text features in this fourth edition. As the name implies, A History of Western Art focuses on the Western canon of art history and presents a compelling chronological narrative from prehistory to the present. In the fourth edition, the Western narrative is complemented by a new non-Western supplement, World Views: Topics in Non-Western Art, that addresses specific techniques or movements of non-Western art. This supplement augments the Western chronology by illustrating moments of thematic relationships and cross-cultural contact.
