First published in 1951 Arnold Hausers commanding work presents an
account of the development and meaning of art from its origins in
the Stone Age through to the Film Age. Exploring the interaction
between art and society, Hauser effectively details social and
historical movements and sketches the frameworks in which visual
art is produced. This new edition provides an excellent
introduction to the work of Arnold Hauser. In his general
introduction to The Social History of Art, Jonathan Harris asseses
the importance of the work for contemporary art history and visual
culture. In addition, an introduction to each volume provides a
synopsis of Hausers narrative and serves as a critical guide to the
text, identifying major themes, trends and arguments.
