Written by a team of expert authors, this landmark textbook shows that art is more than European and extends far beyond the traditional canon.

The History of Art: A Global View answers the urgent need for a more global, inclusive way to teach the history of the world's art. Led by Jean Robertson and Deborah Hutton, eleven specialists have cohered around the shared goal of bringing multiple perspectives to a worldwide narrative. The resulting survey represents every global region as an important part of an integrated, chronological history that emphasizes cross-cultural connections, contrasts, and comparisons.

The first major art history textbook of the 21st century, The History of Art: A Global View equips students to understand the history of art in new and revealing ways.
