Einleitungssatz
The history of the manual techniques that have enabled the human race to dominate its environment began in east-central Africa more than two million years ago, when pebbles were first made into rudimentary tools by breaking off part of the surface to form a working edge.

Format:Taschenbuch
Ich hatte ja damit gerechnet dass es sich nicht als U-Bahn Lektüre eignet aber die über 3 kg Gewicht waren doch eine durchaus positive Überraschung. Obwohl es eine 'soft cover' Ausgabe ist fühlt sich das Buch sehr hochwertig an und die über 1400 Abbildungen (davon ca. 50 % in Farbe) sind auch überzeugend. Ein empfehlenswertes, auch für nicht native speakers leicht verständlich geschriebenes, Übersichtswerk über die Entwicklung der bildenden Kunst und Architektur von der Altsteinzeit bis zum Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts zu einem unschlagbaren Preis.

An Ideal Resource
30. Juli 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a student of fine and decorative art, "A World History of Art" has proved an invaluable resource for me. Unlike so many texts intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of art, this book is fresh and enjoyable, offering a wealth of information in a succinct and articulate manner. It is all too easy to deteriorate into ponderous, heavy prose when discussing the history of art, but Honour and Fleming generally manage to avoid the trap and move steadily and seamlessly through both time and place in discussing the progression of art.
"A World History of Art" is, primarily, an academic text and is therefore a proverbial doorstop of a book - I would not recommend it as a coffee table adornment, but would strongly encourage students or connoisseurs to consider it as a reference. It is an ideal source of general information for the university or postgraduate student, and would serve as an excellent introduction for anyone seeking to study the history of art.

The best art history text book there is
10. August 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Well there might be a better one, but this is orders of magnitude better than anything else I have read, including Gombrich. The great thing about it is that it attempts to relate the form and content of the art to the worldview of the artists and the society of the time that the art was produced. In support of its arguments it gives lots of extended passages from contemporary writers as well as many, many quotations from the artists themselves. The philosophical and theological connections are well explained.
What it doesn't do is attempt to re-interpret things as seen through an atheist/materialist worldview, (which assumes that any worldview based upon faith is founded in error and assumes that it cannot be a true motivation for the artist does). This is what nearly every other art book does. For example, much of Western art history is linked to Catholic beliefs. Honour and Fleming do not question the truth of Catholic beliefs, as nearly every art book I have come across does, but seeks to explain how, given these beliefs, their art might be as it is. So they explain clearly and accurately what those beliefs are then relate what we see to them. I find their analysis very convincing. They have the same approach to art of non-Christian cultures as well.
The only section that I find weak is that not written by Honour and Fleming, on the art of the 20th century. The writers seem are not able to articulate the worldview behind it in the same clear way.
