I read this in my Art Criticism class this past semester, and it's definitely not a book that you can just read cover to cover. At least not in my opinion. It's more suited for using as a reference. The way it's arranged is clever, though, because each chapter contains a certain amount of articles, and they build upon each other and relate to each other depending on the topic of the chapter. I could give it a higher rating, but it wasn't really enjoyable for me. On a scholarly level, I am show more sure it would receive 5 stars. Certainly you should have this on your bookshelf if you're studying art history. show less

A wonderful resource for further study of ancient Greek art. I used this for a class on ancient art and architecture and found the section on ancient Crete and the ruins at Cnossos especially helpful.

Fine survey.
