User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “I have found that Gardner�s Art Through the Ages has always provided the best contextual information… In particular I thought the section on Locke and Newton and the Philosophies was very useful.””I have taught with Janson and Stokstad as well. Gardner is hands down better.”�MindTap assignments are tied to different works of art, and take students to a virtual museum where they can zoom in. The flashcards are so much more dynamic than an image on a flat text. Students are so inundated with media that having a textbook with flat images doesn�t do anything for them. When you can turn something 360 degrees and zoom in, you often get a better view than you would in real life.� About the Author Fred S.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I loved studying Art History with this book. From the Venusof Willendorf to The Terra-cotta Warriors this book informed me and taught me so much! I still could take Art History 2 and 3 to finish the book but I graduate in June with my BA. I plan on finishing the book this summer bc it fascinates me and thanks to Amazon for gifting my rental and letting me keep the book.

⭐Beautiful book. The scope is breathtaking, and the text and visuals pleasing. Helpful framework of world history. Concise summaries at the beginning and end of each chapter. My only quibble would be the omission of some artists who should be acknowledged, but aren’t: Piero di Cosimo, Hockney, Yves Klein, Wayne Thiebaud, Joan Brown and a few others. Also, the chariot of Bacchus in Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne is driven by cheetahs, not leopards. Notwithstanding the nits, this is a Worthy book. It especially excels in the ancient art sections at the beginning. If the cost is prohibitive I highly recommend Art: The Definitive Visual Guide.

⭐Very informative, great illustrations, well written and organized. Great for a general overview of art history and world history in general

⭐Really wonderful quality, massive amounts of content. Definitely worth the price. I needed it for a class, but I’ll hold on to this for a long time to come.

⭐Beautiful book. This will be kept after using for a college course!

⭐I was extremely pleased with this used book purchase. I love the book and it arrived in excellent condition!

⭐It was one of the books required for my BFA. The Book itself it’s AWESOME and the delivery was pretty fast as well!

⭐My son needed this for AP art history and we received a good copy very rapidly

⭐VERY big and VERY expensive
