Review: "In this clear and concise book, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up the discipline of art history. Using a wide range of images, from Easter Island statues to Constable's The Cornfield, the author shows how the artworks themselves can be the starting point for how we 'read' art history, and suggests a diversity of ways through which we can enjoy, think about, and understand art." "With a glossary of technical terms, and list of useful Web site addresses, this is an invaluable and accessible introduction to a fascinating subject."--Jacket.
