{"product_id":"a-chronology-of-art-iain-zaczek-9780500298176","title":"A Chronology of Art: A Timeline of Western Culture from Prehistory to the Present","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost surveys of the history of art come neatly packaged. They are divided up into historic periods, artistic schools and movements, and the careers of individual painters. They may make the subject appear more manageable, but they are oversimplifications. In reality, movements and careers overlapped and intertwined, reacting to events in the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eA Chronology of Art\u003c\/em\u003e places developments in the art world into sharp focus. By prioritizing a purely chronological approach and side-stepping the clich?s of conventional, academic pigeonholes, it presents an entirely fresh perspective on the subject. The book is structured around a central timeline, which features lavish illustrations of artworks, together with commentaries and additional information about the social, political, and cultural events of the period. The text is divided into four historical sections, becoming more detailed as it nears the present. From 1800 onward, each spread covers a five-year span, which is far more comprehensive than other surveys of this kind. The chronological spreads are interwoven with lively \"In Focus\" features, highlighting social, stylistic, and technical developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iain Zaczek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500298173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500298176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Iain Zaczek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140919349503,"sku":"9780500298176","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd3e69d5-12d1-420e-863c-1794cf2ff6f0.jpg?v=1726597409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-chronology-of-art-iain-zaczek-9780500298176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
