THE STORY OF PAINTING
From Cave Painting to Modern Times
By H.W. Janson and Dora Jane Janson

65-Full Page Full-Color Reproductions and 81 Monochromes

Here is a volume as rare as it is beautiful. It is a picture gallery, with more-and larger-color
plates than have ever before appeared in a book of this sort; and at the same time, its is a remarkable
and even exciting story of how painting began and how it developed through the ages. It is not a dry
recital of dates and dull lists to burden the memory. Instead, readers will find a fascinating account of
how people like themselves, across the ages, have expressed in pictures their hopes and dreams,
their fears and fantasies, their beliefs, what they thought was beautiful and noble, or bitter and cruel.

Great book if you are into art and how it transpired. Also, great table piece to get a discussion
going.
