Western Art History Bijutsu Shuppan Library History

About the productJapanese

This book is the second in the series "Library of Japanese Art History," which is used as a textbook in many art universities. This is the long-awaited series that allows you to learn an overwhelming volume of history in one book.

The book's unique feature is that it lists important information on each spread, making the key points clear at a glance. The layout allows you to start reading from any page, making it easy to use for both those who are just starting to learn art and those who want to deepen their knowledge.

The authors are 11 researchers active at the forefront of research, who provide easy-to-understand explanations of the key points we need to learn from the latest perspectives.

"One aspect of art is the art of beauty. This can be clearly seen by looking at architecture. Gothic cathedrals dedicated to God are at the same time the result of civil engineering and stonework techniques. The same is true of sculpture and painting. A neat statue of the Virgin Mary, a landscape painting, or a still life painting would not have been created without the support of the painter's technique. This book, a rich guide to the history of Western art, is also fully reliable because it is backed by the results of the author's thorough intellectual research. I would definitely recommend having this book on your desk."
Shuji Takashina (Director of Ohara Museum of Art, Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo)
