Description
'Art: A New History' by Paul Johnson is a wide-ranging history of art that traces developments from prehistoric cave painting to the art of the early twenty-first century. Johnson discusses painting, sculpture and architecture alongside forms such as mosaic, stained glass and garden design, giving particular attention to the Renaissance, seventeenth-century realism, landscape painting and the development of modern art. He also draws attention to artists and artistic traditions that he considers underrepresented in conventional histories, including work from Scandinavia, Germany, Russia and the Americas. First published in 2003, the richly illustrated volume offers Johnson’s distinctive and sometimes controversial interpretation of the development of Western art.
