Hello to all book lovers! 📚
Finally, I looked through a book that I could not buy before - this is a large and difficult book "History of Art". Compiler: Stephen Farting. (I have a Ukrainian version).
I took this book from a friend. For Ukrainians, the price of this book is high.
It costs $ 33.76 / 31.83 €
Pages: 576.
This thorough publication will acquaint the reader with world masterpieces of architecture, sculpture, painting, conceptual art. Written by well-known art critics and cultural historians, the vividly illustrated book will help to get an idea of the most significant works. The authors trace the evolution of artistic thinking from ancient times to the present, accompanying the articles on a chronological scale, which facilitates orientation in the relevant historical context.
In this book you will find the art history of the following periods:
- From ancient times to the XV century;
- XV-XVI century;
- XVII-XVIII century;
- XIX century;
- 1900-1945;
- 1946 - present.
Readers who look at the book in a relaxed home atmosphere will find the best guide on its interesting pages. Although it covers a vast period of time and an incredible number of artistic directions, the authors never forget the fundamental importance of focusing on specific images and their gltbtnnogo analysis and always remind of the charm that gives the interpretation of the richness of individual masterpieces. By reading this encyclopedia you can develop an individual reaction to the artist's worldview. However, it is worth remembering: words should be perceived only before or after the meeting with the exhibits waiting for us in museums and galleries. Nothing should interfere with the direct experience of the perception of the original work. It is necessary to contemplate it passionately, attentively and sincerely - and then the masterpieces of great masters will repay you a hundredfold. (from the introductory word).
I invite you to turn the pages of the book together.

I could photograph this book indefinitely, because there is so much more! But I think my photos are enough to describe the book. It can be read gradually, in the mood, turning the pages from era to era, not necessarily in a row.
I recommend to everyone who loves art and has an irresistible interest to learn more about world masterpieces.
Thank you for reading my post. I wish everyone good, interesting, wise books! 💗
