Why is art even important at all?
That's just one of the questions answered in A Little History of Art by Charlotte Mullins. Starting with prehistoric times, the reader goes on a journey from the earliest examples of art through to the Renaissance, the 20th century, and then to present day. The book covers Donatello, Michelangelo, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe and many more. The book also covers locations like Japan, India, South America, and the Middle East and celebrates art's role in understanding our collective culture.
This a great reference book for artists, art collectors, art history students, and anyone interested in the history of art as we may (or may not) know it.
