Art and Its Histories, Volume I: Caves to Cathedrals Revisited
tells a succinct and absorbing story about the varied, complex
roles that images and objects have played in cultures from
Prehistory to the Middle Ages. Each chapter in the textbook
provides historical, social, religious, and cultural context for
the images and objects analyzed, as well as recent research about
materiality, gender, and social class to demonstrate connections
between art history and contemporary visual culture. In addition to
an engaging introduction and conclusion that emphasize connectivity
across cultures, thirteen chapters, written by subject experts,
explore over 500 individual images and objects within their
respective historical contexts. Each chapter is accompanied by
suggested activities and assignments that enrich the student
reading and learning experience. Art and Its Histories, Volume I
demonstrates that across historical periods cultures do not exist
in isolation; instead they are in constant dialogue with each
other, promoting cross-cultural pictorial languages and styles. It
is the first textbook in a two-volume series designed to support
courses and programs in art history. All of the contributors and
editors are alumni of New York University's Institute of Fine Arts.
