I've read just another for dummies book before that was very very simple. I liked this better. Has very specific info about each art movement and period. Excellent if you are running out of time to learn more about art. Maybe missing some important info in modern and contemporary but it is understandable as there is too much to know!

Great overview of the history of the visual arts -- easy (even fun) to read -- lots of B&W and color illustrations

I bought this book for my husband because he was starting his first art history college course. He would read his assigned class book and then before the day's lecture would read in the dummies book. He said he understood everything so much better. What a great addition and help to the course!
