  20. Authorities • Booklist(April 15, 1996; 0-8109-1960-5; 978-0-8109-1960-0)Stokstad's landmark publication will join the ranks of long-cherished standards in the field by Janson and Hartt even though it radically alters our approach to the history of art. Scholar and professor Stokstad is a humanistic art historian, training her penetrating eye not only on works of art but also on artists, patrons, audiences, and places of display. She is inclusive and contextual, drawing parallels between the art of Africa, India, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, finding common ground, and celebrating uniqueness. Stokstad eschews "schools" and writes, instead, of styles, their iconography, and how and why they change. Her lucid and stimulating analysis is contemporary without being trendy and takes into account both physical and spiritual beauty, culture at large and individual geniuses, and all the political, religious, and technological factors that affect the creation and appreciation of art. A spectacular design, great wealth of color illustrations, and Stokstad's sense of the grand continuity of art through time and across oceans make this an exceptional, thoroughly enjoyable survey. --Donna Seaman

  21.

  23. Personal Impression • This book is simply wonderful. It is physically ponderous, weighing in at 8 pounds, however, its content easily compensates for its bulk. • All historical periods of art history are chronicled, with beautiful illustrations well-produced and nearly all in color. • The text is incisive, easy to follow, and never boring. I would recommend this book to any and all art lovers, whether beginners, advanced students, and those who just desire a comprehensive reference for library or home use. • I personally consider this publication a better choice than Janson’s, History of Art, it’s more user-friendly and in my opinion the content is more inclusive, especially regarding non-Western art.
