Great art movements and the paintings that inspired them. The Illustrated Story of Art is an innovative approach to understanding the history of art, from cave painting to the modern day, with pivotal works of art examined in the context of history, culture and the lives of their creators. This invaluable reference book reveals the creative impulse behind every major visual art movement, from the Renaissance to Surrealism, with a visual timeline to show key paintings and events. Turning-point paintings that triggered movements are identified and explained as well as the influences behind the artwork such as technical advances, admired techniques of earlier artists, and changes in society. Vivid images of masterpieces from each style and a glossary of terms make this an indispensable work of reference. Covering the evolution of each major genre as well as featuring the paintings that ignited new artistic movements, The Illustrated Story of Art is perfect for art-lovers, exhibition-goers and anyone who appreciates great art.
