"What were the most important paintings done in France between 1650 and 1700? While Picasso was working on Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, who was making the most important paintings, sculptures, and buildings in the United States? Key Dates in Art History from 600 BC to the Present provides fast, accurate, pictorial and factual reference in the history of Western painting, sculpture, and architecture. The book functions in at least four different ways. Firstly, the reader can discover within any one period the parallel developments in various geographical areas. Secondly, the pictures reinforce the idea of period and style. Thirdly, the accompanying chronology of social historical and art historical events enables the reader to place the art history in a wider context. Fourthly, a comprehensive index of all works of art and artists mentioned allows the book to be used as reference from particular to the gerneral period and style."--Publisher's description.
