A New World History of Art
The Viking Press | 1965 | ISBN: N/A | English | 728 pages | PDF | 108 MB

In 1937 a new major work of art history made its appearance—Sheldon Cheney's World History of Art. Readable, comprehensive, fresh and up-to-date in its point of view yet fully aware of the traditions, it quickly took a place of leadership both among general readers and as a standard text for students. It covered painting, sculpture, architecture, and the minor arts from the dawn of history to the present, in the Orient as well as in the West. Nearly 500 illustrations — not small, cluttered pictures but large and well chosen reproductions — illuminated at every step the 800 pages of narrative.
