This text is the 16th revised and updated edition of this introduction
to art, from the earliest cave paintings to experimental art. Eight new
artists from the modern period have been introduced. They are: Corot,
Kollwitz, Nolde, de Chirico, Brancussi, Magritte, Nicolson and Morandi.
A sequence of new "endings" have been added, and the captions are now
fuller, including the medium and dimension of the works illustrated. Six
fold-outs present selected large-scale works. They are: Van Eyck's
"Ghent Altarpiece", Leonardo's "Last Supper", Botticelli's "Birth of
Venus", Jackson Pollock's "One (Number 31, 1950)", Van der Weyden's
"Descent from the Cross" and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
