Infectious verve and absolute credibility distinguish the Jansons―father and son―in the way they tell the great story of art. Beginning with the expressive horses painted on cave walls in southern France 30,000 years ago―long before written history―A BASIC HISTORY OF ART carries the narrative of art history in the Western tradition forward through thousands of years to today's cheerfully eclectic Postmodern buildings and idiosyncratic artistic expressions. This Sixth Edition combines the best of the Janson art history tradition with features that make it easy to learn and remember:
Quite simply, A BASIC HISTORY OF ART is the best-balanced, most authoritative one-volume introduction for the beginning student in art history or the humanities.

His world-famous History of Art has been translated into more than a dozen languages.
Anthony E. Janson has forged a distinguished career as an author, museum professional, and teacher. He has written books, catalogs, and articles on a wide range of subjects from the Renaissance to the present day. He served as chief curator at the Indianapolis Museum of Art; the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota; and the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. He has also taught at three universities and is currently on the faculty at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
