Description
Written by a group of highly respected art historians, the fifth edition of this classic book now features full-colour artworks throughout, new chapter introductions, examinations of key ideas, and other helpful pedagogical support.
Emphasising the vitality of 19th-century art, the authors demonstrate how paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings by artists such as David, Géricault, Turner, Homer, Cassatt, Rodin, Van Gogh, and many others remain relevant today.
Using evocative and lucid prose, the authors reveal how concerns about class and gender, race and ethnicity, modernity and tradition, and popular and elite culture—ideas that arose in the course of the 19th century—motivated artists and propelled the movements under review.
