A gorgeously illustrated and engaging guide to the world of art. Immerse yourself in the amazing world of art in this beautiful book with text by Helena Hunt, stylishly illustrated by the inimitable print-maker James Brown.

What is art, and how have we used it to express ourselves throughout history? From cave painting right up to pop art; the Renaissance to twentieth-century

sculpture, discover the stories behind great movements, processes and artists – both the household names and the perhaps not-so-familiar.

Covering thirty topics, including printing, pigment, ceramics and pattern and photography, as well as Impressionism, Romanticism and Surrealism, this is a thoughtful and easily digestible approach to a huge subject.

这是一本图文并茂、引人入胜的艺术世界指南。在这本由海伦娜·亨特（Helena Hunt）撰写文字、由独特的印刷品制作者詹姆斯·布朗（James Brown）绘制时尚插图的美丽书籍中，让自己沉浸在奇妙的艺术世界中。

什么是艺术，我们在历史上是如何用它来表达自己的？从洞穴绘画到流行艺术；从文艺复兴时期到二十世纪的雕塑，发现伟大的运动、过程和艺术家背后的故，包括家喻户晓的名字和可能不那么熟悉的名字。本书涵盖了30个主题，包括印刷、颜料、陶瓷、图案和摄影，以及印象主义、浪漫主义和超现实主义，对一个庞大的主题来说，这是一种深思熟虑且容易消化的方法。
