Comparative Art (1906) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781436811132)

Comparative Art is a book written by Edwin Swift Balch and originally published in 1906. The book explores the similarities and differences between various forms of art from different cultures and time periods. Balch examines the art of ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as the art of more contemporary cultures such as China and Japan. He also compares the art of Western Europe with that of the Middle East and Africa. Throughout the book, Balch analyzes the techniques, styles, and themes of different art forms and discusses how they have influenced each other over time. Comparative Art provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the history of art and the ways in which different cultures have expressed themselves through artistic expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
