The story of art is not always the story of art-historical 'isms'
and complex academic debate. The real history is often the story of
some very simple firsts - the first time an artist painted
themselves, the first time someone painted a smile, the first
actual place to be depicted, the first feminist artwork, the first
anti-war work. Art evolves and revolutionises itself through these
simple - but ground-breaking - creative leaps. Art Firsts brings
together 30 of these pioneering firsts to piece together an
original approach to looking at and appreciating art, as well as
understanding where it has come from and how it relates to you.
Each first is approachable and engaging, while each work is simply
and satisfyingly explained. Every work is also fully illustrated,
and its significance is shown through images of the subsequent
artists directly inspired by them. Art Firsts offers a refreshing
and fascinating narrative for those curious about why so-called
'masterpieces' are so important and how the story of art can be
boiled down to flashes of fascinating brilliance.
