Offering an exploration of Western and World civilization's cultural heritage, this book is richly illustrated, beautifully designed and engaging. Readers move chronologically through major periods and styles-from the renaissance and mannerism in Italy to 20th Century America-to gain insight into the achievements and ideas in painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, philosophy, religion, and music. For arts and cultural coordinators, professionals and enthusiasts.
For one or two semester/quarter courses on Introduction to the Humanities or Cultural Studies. Arts and Cultures provides an introduction to global civilizations and their artistic achievements, history, and cultures. The authors consider two important questions: What makes a work a masterpiece of its type? And what qualities of a work enable it to be appreciated over time? Volume 2 contains literature selections at the end of each chapter.
