Experience the history of art through analysis of the objects themselves
Janson’s History of Art: The Western Tradition offers readers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view.
Throughout the Reissued 8th Edition, 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. Coverage is limited to the Western tradition, with a chapter on Islamic art and its relationship to Western art.
