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.
UNIQUE ONLINE RESOURCE... THE COMPANION WERSITEH. W. Janson is a legendary name in art history. Professor of Fine Arts at New York University for more than twenty-five years, he produced an extraordinary list of publications. Among them are books that remain classics of their kind, including The Story of Painting for Young People (with Dora Jane Janson), The Sculpture of Donatello, 19th-Century Art (with Robert Rosenblum), and 19th-Century Sculpture. 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. Dr. Janson took over authorship of History of Art and History of Art for Young People upon the death of his father, H. W Janson, in 1982.
