Annotation:
This introduction to the history of art is meant to be read as a sequential narrative. The author--the distinguished art historian E. H. Gombrich--keeps things simple by referring only to the works of art, sculpture, and architecture that are reproduced in the book. Each subsequent edition has included more color photographs, an expanded and/or revised bibliography, and often, additional biographies of artists. But the author never veers from his original intent: to provide a concise anthology of art's major movements, figures, and styles.
