This heavily illustrated crash course in art history is revised and updated from the second edition published in 2007, including a new chapter about recent artists and movements. Featuring succinct page-length essays, instructive sidebars, and more than 300 photographs, The Annotated Mona A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to the Present takes art education out of the realm of dreary textbooks, demystifies jargon and theory, and makes the history of art movements accessible to beginning art museum-goers—even at a cursory reading.
From Stonehenge to the Guggenheim and from African art to Warhol, more than 25,000 years of art is distilled into five sections (prehistoric and medieval, renaissance and baroque, the nineteenth century, modern art, and contemporary art) covering a little more than 230 pages.
The Annotated Mona Lisa, Third Edition: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to the Present (Annotated Series) (Volume 3) Reviews

This is a truly wonderful art history book and quite and achievement. I even wrote the publisher and author a “fan” letter. I am an art historian and artist, and had students buy this when I was a professor (now retired from the teaching part), although my classes were in Switzerland and in German and the book has not unfortunately been translated into German. The book covers prehistoric through now, with short, concise explanations, color photos, and pleasing design. I can greatly recommend it to everyone. The best art history intro book in the whole world! No kidding.

This book was very much insightful and talked about so many different artists and pieces of artwork I wish I could dive in and learn more about the artists and look longer at their creations. The ending part however got boring for me just because I’m not into the whole technology are. I’m more into the visual real arts. But very knowledgeable book. And I’m glad I have read this. 4.75/5.

What kind of art book has some images and colors and others in black and white? Would of been better off reading my art history textbooks.
