Overview

Janson's History of Art: The Western Tradition enables you to experience the history of art through analysis of the objects themselves. This engaging text offers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view. Throughout, the authors focus on the discussion of the object, its manufacture and its visual character. They consider the contribution of the artist as an important part of the analysis.

The Reissued 8th Edition offers fresh interpretations of the great many distinct chronological and cultural periods that comprise Western art. A high-quality visual program ensures inclusion of only the best possible images, many obtained directly from the holding institutions. And Art Historian's Lens boxes help you understand the methods art historians use to develop arguments.
