Covering Western art from the ancient Greeks to the present day,
this best-selling and authoritative dictionary is more wide-ranging
than any comparable reference work. It contains over 2,500 clear
and concise entries on styles and movements, materials and
techniques, and museums and galleries. It also includes
biographical entries for artists, critics, collectors, dealers, and
patrons, with places and full dates of birth and death (in many
instances correcting misinformation that has found its way into
other sources). For this new edition, entries have been thoroughly
revised and updated, and more than fifty new entries have been
added, for example Tracey Emin and Jack Vettriano. Browsers and
readers with an interest in a particular area will benefit from the
classified list of all the entries in the book - an invaluable
innovation that makes it easy to see immediately which collectors,
for example, or 18th-century French artists, or printmaking terms,
are included in the dictionary. Written in an engaging manner with
many entries enlivened by quotations from artists and critics, this
dictionary is a pleasure to browse, whilst its A-Z structure and
classified list makes it perfect for quick reference. Previously
entitled The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists, this
major new edition is essential for students and teachers of art,
design, art theory, and art history, and it is ideal for artists,
visitors to art exhibitions and galleries, and anyone with an
interest in art.
