Description:
208 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 22 cm.
Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"The
story
of
art
is not always the
story
of art-historical 'isms' and complex academic debate. The real history is often the
story
of some very simple firsts -- the first time an artist painted themselves, the first time someone painted a smile, the first actual place to be depicted, the first feminist artwork, the first anti-war work.
Art
evolves and revolutionises itself through these simple -- but ground-breaking - creative leaps.
Art
Firsts brings together 30 of these
pioneering
firsts to piece together an original approach to looking at and appreciating
art
, as well as understanding where it has come from and how it relates to you. Each first is approachable and engaging, while each work is simply and satisfyingly explained. Every work is also fully illustrated, and its significance is shown through images of the subsequent artists directly inspired by them.
Art
Firsts offers a refreshing and fascinating narrative for those curious about why so-called 'masterpieces' are so important and how the
story
of
art
can be boiled down to flashes of fascinating brilliance."--Publisher.
