The bestselling survey of art history, newly expanded with additional artworks and fresh commentary across six overarching themes: looking, materials, mind, devotion, power, and sex.

How is art made? How can we interpret the meaning behind it? And what is the significance of the way in which it is displayed? Using six common themes that bind together art from around the globe, this lively and illuminating journey through art history seeks to answer these questions and more, drawing parallels across different time periods and cultures – from cave paintings to contemporary multi-media works.

This expanded edition of Dana Arnold's bestselling survey offers new illustrations and fresh insights – the perfect companion for anyone seeking to learn more across a stunning breadth of art.

Dana Arnold is Professor of Architecture at Manchester School of Architecture, UK. She is the author of Art History: A Very Short Introduction, which has been translated into twelve languages. Her recent edited volumes include A Companion to British Art, Art History: Contemporary Perspectives on Method and Biographies and Space.
