2 A world of artists and perspectives... Paul Klee, Cat and Bird...in full color! (Actual page size is 8.5 x 11 ) Madonna with Child and Angels c Michelangelo, David A record of human experience Whether the main focus of study or the basis for a richer understanding of history, literature, cultural movements and other topics, art is relevant to all areas of the curriculum. As a universal language, it vividly conveys the drama of human experience where words sometimes fail. And because the subject is so broadly and thoroughly documented, reference sources tend to isolate geographic regions or schools of art, or focus on biographies of only the most influential artists. Schirmer Reference now brings this monumental topic into focus in four illustrated volumes of artists, works and genres from around the world. From Assyrian art to Tibetan mandalas In more than 500 alphabetical, illustrated entries on painters, sculptors, architects, photographers, historical traditions, popular schools and more, Schirmer Encyclopedia of Art surveys the history of art from a global perspective. An open design features photos, sidebars, definitions and succinct articles on artists and works of art from Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and Latin America. From the Kabuki mask and the Egyptian frieze to the action painting of Jackson Pollock, the Encyclopedia uses an appealing and accessible format to capture the beauty and enduring fascination of art.
