Art in World History, a Berkshire Essential, put readers in touch
with art from the Paleolithic period and the millennium-long heyday
of porcelain, to performance art of the postmodernist world. They
explore fundamental questions about the origins of art making and
the case for including visual studies in world history. The volume
balances and interweaves regional coverage with cross-cultural
perspectives - when trade brought Chinese silk to the Romans in the
first century CE, or how celebrated 19th-century Japanese
printmakers used one-point perspective, a Western technique.
Overviews on vernacular architecture and textiles examine how the
study of these art forms can provide insight on a people's
aesthetic sense and development, as well as on the cultural,
political, and socioeconomic aspects of their lives.
