The Annotated Mona Lisa

A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern

by Carol Strickland; John Boswell; Patty Brown (Editor); Barbara Cohen Aronica (Designed by); Jan Halpe

Synopsis

This second edition of Carol Strickland's 'The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern' is revised and updated. It offers an illustrated tutorial of prehistoric to post-modern art from cave paintings to video art installations to digital and Internet media. Featuring succinct page-length essays, instructive sidebars, and more than 300 photographs, 'The Annotated Mona Lisa' takes art history out of the realm of dreary textbooks, demystifies jargon and theory, and makes art accessible - even at a cursory reading. From Stonehenge to the Guggenheim and from Holbein to Warhol, more than 25,000 years of art is distilled into five sections covering a little more than 200 pages.
