Book summary:
A World History of Art is a comprehensive survey of world art from ancient civilizations through modern times. It examines painting, sculpture, architecture and decorative arts, placing artworks within their historical, religious, cultural and social contexts. Rather than treating Western art in isolation, the book considers artistic traditions from many parts of the world and explains how different cultures influenced one another.

The later editions are substantial reference books—the 7th revised edition, for example, is 996 pages and was published by Laurence King in 2005. 

About the authors:

  • Hugh Honour (1927–2016) was a British art historian and writer particularly known for his work on European art and the history of Western art.
  • John Fleming (1923–2012) was a British art historian and writer who collaborated with Honour on several important art-history works.
  • Together, Honour and Fleming created a broad, richly illustrated history intended to help readers understand art in relation to culture, religion, politics and society.
