State of the Arts: From Bezalel to Mapplethorpe (Volume 13)

We use this book as part of our art history course. We love it and have just about wore out the copy we have.

Great!

A fascinating read.

Very important topic

Excellent condition

Good book

Veith takes on a large topic in a small volume and faces the limitations thus imposed. Having said that, the book meets its target of providing a brief, lucid framework as a point of reference from which the Christian can begin to explore art as a more informed consumer. Because of the necessity of describing some quite objectionable subject matter in covering the entire breadth of what masquerades as art in the post-modern world, "State of the Arts" should be read by an adult audience. A quite readable and very useful work. Recommended.

What a thoughtful and useful account of the visual arts in history and our own culture! I often give this to graduates going into or graduating from an art school. However, anyone can understand and appreciate this well written book. Highly recommend!
