"Art Past Art Present brings to life the history of art, from prehistoric times to the present day, with analyses of works of art, artists, patrons, and techniques from around the world." "With a new design and many new illustrations, this edition retains the elements that have been justly praised in earlier editions: introductory overviews offering a Brief Insight into each major period; Timelines which further enhance our understanding of the historical, geographical and cultural context of artworks; over twenty color maps; boxed essays on Techniques in art and architecture; Art Past Art Present boxes, illuminating the relationship between the art being discussed and our modern world; a series of Theme Spreads presenting groups of works from different periods and locations that can be more fully understood when seen in the context of other works representing the same theme. The authors have made liberal use of quotation from historical documents, and key terms are highlighted and defined in the Glossary."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
The narrative is chronological through time and across cultures, so that one can visit the world of art in any era and learn what was happening around the globe. Clear, synthesizing overviews of each major section provide historical, social, and cultural foundations for the presentation of the art and architecture covered in those sections.
The book's strong design provides dependable visual cues for different kinds of information: for example, boxed explications of art techniques and Timescopes, which are integrated chronological tables that organize important information by geographical area, date, and key events in art and history for each major period. Patronage and sponsorship - who commissioned and paid for artworks, and why - are treated in captions for every work that has a known or presumed sponsor.
Art Past/Art Present's global overview and clear expression are finely tuned to the outlook of our times and to satisfying our curiosity about art from its beginnings to its most current expressions everywhere.
