World of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World of Art is a well-known and long established series of art books from the publisher Thames & Hudson.
Perhaps the most classic book in the series is A Concise History of Painting: From Giotto to Cézanne by Michael Levey (of the National Gallery in London), originally published in 1962 (ISBN 0-500-20024-6). This gives an authoritative introduction to European art history from the early use of perspective in Italy to the start of modern art at the beginning of the 20th century.
