"Art is anything made by man - fro the earliest primitive cultures to the sophisticated styles of today.
This interesting approach to art appreciation and history traces the development of painting, sculpture and architecture from the Stone Age, through the 'cradle' civilisations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Indus Valley and Central America; ancient Greece and Rome; the Middle Ages to present times.  Twenty-six comprehensive chapters also include Asiatic art, the influence of the Renaissance, Romanesque and Gothic Art, Impressionism, Abstract and Expressionist styles, twentieth-century trends and art in Australia.
Over thirty colour plates and a wide-variety of photographs give the text an original and stimulating visual dimension."
