Specification It is no exaggeration to say that "The Story of Art" is the most famous and widely read art history book in the world. There are few books that provide such a grand view of art history, from primitive cave paintings to modern experimental art, and tell the story in a digestible way that is easy for anyone to understand. Since its first publication in 1950, it has been revised 16 times, and continues to give readers new perspectives and inspiration. The reason why "The Story of Art" is so popular is because of the author Gombrich's deep insight and love for art works, his vast knowledge, and his excellent technique for conveying it. His straightforward and simple writing style makes the story stand out clearly, and he depicts art history that "stretches from the age of the pyramids to modern art" in a way that is truly visible. This book, which has already become a classic, is now available in a new pocket edition. It will surely be accepted by many readers in the future.
