geographically and historically; it features unparalleled coverage
of Africa, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Mongolia, China, India,
the Islamic world, Japan, Korea, Native North America, Pacific and
Aboriginal Australia, Pre-Columbian America, Ancient Egypt, Ancient
Greece, the Ancient Near East, and Ancient Rome. Providing depth as
well as breadth, The Dictionary of Art examines important art forms
and key issues of design, taste, function, and patronage,
illuminating them in light of the cultural context in which they
developed.
