This is an easy to use guide to a wide range of art 'isms'. From the isms of the Renaissance to the isms of the present day, it gives a practical introduction to all the significant isms that have shaped art history.

For each ism, there is a definition, an introduction to the topic, lists of key artists, key words, and key works as well as suggestions of other isms that the reader might be interested in.
