Featuring succinct page-length essays, instructive sidebars, and more than 300 photographs, The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern takes art history out of the realm of dreary textbooks, demystifies jargon and theory, and makes art accessible—even at a cursory reading. From Stonehenge to the Guggenheim and from Holbein to Warhol, more than 25,000 years of art is distilled into five sections covering a little more than 200 pages. Average Rating:

Rating: - The Annotated Mona LisaThis is a wonderful book, I am studying for the Art praxis and found this book very helpful. Good crash course in art history. Rating: - Couldn't have passed my Art Content Praxis without this book!!!I bought this book to review for the Art Content Praxis. It's been about 20 years since my art history classes so I definitely needed a refresher. Although, I did remember a lot and reviewed other books, this book put me over the top. It's fast paced and easy to read! Short highlights to remind you of things you may have forgot and adds what you may have missed. Rating: - An excellent book in every wayThis book is just what is says it is: "a crash course in Art History" and it is great! Carol Strickland is a top flight writer and art historian. She covers the most important artists and movements in a concise and readable manner. Her side-bars that appear throughout the text add interesting anecdotal material that is always worthwhile. There are plenty of art reproductions, many in color, that illustrate the text. I have used this book (1st edition) for several years in a one semester ... Read More
