Very good for general knowledge

Reviewed in Canada on November 3, 2023
For a person who is not an artist per se, this is a
very interesting book with concise snippets
about everything. I would say the only negative
thing would be regarding the layout, some of the
pictures cross the centre of the book, so you
cannot appreciate the picture as a... See more

Awesome Encyclopedia
Reviewed in Canada on August 7, 2023
Came on time and in perfect condition. It has
perfect quality and is very sturdy. It was very
informative on all the art throughout history and
even talked a little about other things such as
music, dance, etc. I recommend it to anyone who
wants to learn about the history... See more

Excellent.
Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2021
I would recommend this book to art lovers and
inspiring art lovers. Visual learning as we know
works the best for many and with the content
being in chronological order, just helps in the
learning.

Claude Debussy. Mas é lindo de qualquer forma.

Beautiful book but can cover more.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2017
The book is beautiful and has a good summary of
many types of art. Although it can definitely cover
more types and more breadth within each art type.
They did a good job for Painting, but others lack
breadth such as Music, none of the modern music
genres are covered.... See more
