Generous, genuine, exacting, insightful, stimulating — all these words describe Frederick Hartt's classic introduction to art history, ART: A HISTORY OF PAINTING • SCULPTURE -ARCHITECTURE.

Now in its fourth edition, this book sparkles with an infectious energy generated over the author's lifetime of teaching, scholarship, and personal delight in the world's art. ART shows us how to see in the broadest, most enduring sense of the word.

Completely redesigned, this new edition is the most thoroughly illustrated art history survey available today, including 102 more color illustrations than the previous edition. More than ever before, the text integrates art history with parallel cultural, sociohistorical, and scientific developments and includes more
women artists — 35 in all — than any other survey. Whole sections have been thoroughly revised: tribal art, pre-Columbian art, Islamic art, Michelangelo as both a Renaissance and a Mannerist artist, and Mannerism in Italy
