The visual arts : a history by Hugh Honour ( Book )
40 editions published between 1982 and 2010 in English and held by 1,807 libraries worldwide
In writing this outline history [the authors'] aims have been exploratory rather than critical. [They] have preferred exposition to interpretation and evaluation ... And [they] have tried to shed assumptions about art being intended primarily for visual enjoyment, often in allegiance with social prestige, assumptions determined largely by the art market and art collecting and themselves, in turn, responsible for current Western conceptions of what 'art' is ... This book seeks to explore the different ways in which men and women have given visual expression to perennial human impulses and concerns ... [The authors have] focus[ed] attention on historically prominent periods and areas, which are also those of most general interest.-Introd.
