内容简介

本书是对史前至今的西方艺术和建筑的简明扼要、便于阅读的插图调查。

本书承认建筑、绘画、雕塑和装饰艺术是如何反映其时代的文化和社会的，是《艺术精粹》系列的新作品，邀请读者体验和欣赏从史前到今天的整个西方艺术。

本书以艺术史中的历史为重点，十二章中的每一章都以一个值得深思的问题开篇，随后是对该时期主要历史发展的总结，涉及社会结构、政治组织、种族、科学进步和习俗等。对这些主题在视觉艺术中的探索揭示了来自大金字塔和圣索菲亚大教堂的艺术和建筑，以及彼得·保罗·鲁本斯、安迪·戈德斯沃西、游击队女孩和菲斯·林戈尔德等艺术家的作品如何同时塑造、反映和记录他们所处的时代和地点的文化。次要的重点是探索在自然主义和抽象主义之间摇摆不定的不断发展的审美偏好，每个时代和风格要么反叛前者，要么寻求改善它。

这本由艺术史专家和博物馆讲师Janetta Rebold Benton撰写的介绍性调查报告图文并茂，对西方传统中一些重要的建筑、雕塑和绘画作品进行了简洁而引人入胜的介绍，并为21世纪的观众重新进行了诠释。

A concise, reader-friendly illustrated survey of Western art and architecture from prehistory to the present day.

Acknowledging how architecture, painting, sculpture, and the decorative arts reflect the culture and society of their time, this latest addition to the Art Essentials series invites the reader to experience and appreciate the entirety of Western art from prehistory to today.

Focusing on the history in art history, each of The History of Western Art’s twelve chapters opens with a question to ponder, followed by a summary of the major historical developments of the period, touching on social structure, political organization, migration, race, beliefs, scientific advances, and customs. An exploration of these themes in the visualarts reveals how art and architecture from the Great Pyramids and Hagia Sophia, as well as pieces by artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, Andy Goldsworthy, Guerrilla Girls, and Faith Ringgold simultaneously shape, reflect, and document the culture of the time and place they were created. A secondary focus explores the constantly evolving aesthetic preferences that swing between naturalism and abstraction, with each era and style either rebelling against the previous or seeking to improve it.

Richly illustrated, this introductory survey by expert art historian and museum lecturer Janetta Rebold Benton offers a succinct and engaging introduction to some of the most important works of architecture, sculpture, and painting in the Western tradition, reinterpreted for a twenty-first-century audience.
