About the author
Helen Gardner
46听books74听followersHelen Gardner (1878鈥�1946) was an American art historian and educator. Her Art Through the Ages remains a standard text for American art history classes.
Gardner was born in Manchester, New Hampshire and attended school in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. In 1901 she graduated with a degree in classics from the University of Chicago. After an interval as a teacher, she returned to the same university to study art history, and received a master's degree in 1918. In 1920 she began lecturing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she would spend the rest of her career, with the exception of short appointments at UCLA and the University of Chicago.
Her major work, Art Through the Ages, was the first single-volume textbook to cover the entire range of art history from a global perspective. Frequently revised, it remains a standard textbook at American schools and universities. In 1932 she also published Understanding the Arts, an art appreciation text directed toward educators.

I really did read this textbook cover to cover, for an AP Art History class. From ancient to modern - it gives a good summary. Not good for in-depth knowledge on specific topics. The broad range of topics led me to do my own research and helped me with Renaissance, Modern and American Art History courses. Anyone who wants to gain some knowledge of art history should skim the text for terms to throw around in a museum to sound decently knowledgeable.

When I was in college as a freshman, this textbook was assigned for a survey class. It was the first textbook I've ever decided to keep and since then, I have read it almost entirely. I don't have an AH degree or anything like that, but as a enthusiast I wuld recommend it for anyone who aspires to broaden their understanding of the history of art. It's easy to read, the annotations are terrific and I just really enjoy it.

Art Through the Ages was used during both of my Art History courses that I took in my undergraduate studio art program. I really enjoyed the sections of this book that we studied. It gives a broad, yet comprehensive, view about how art has progressed over time and the historical events that influenced its development. I found it easy to read and understand and really enjoyed the numerous color photos found through out the text. It's an extremely heavy book and not one I often wanted to carry around. However, I can say that it's also one of the only text books I kept from my college days because it contains such a wealth of useful information.
September 17, 2011
This was my college text book. The current editors (at the time) were my college professors. I've read this and re-read this countless times through my life time. Like all great history books there are newly discovered names every time you re-read it. Fabulous general reference.

Can a textbook be a favorite book? This one is for me. This book opened up an entire world when I first read it in high school, creating a passion for art history that has carried over to me for these past four, nearly five, years. Without this book, I wouldn't have had the multitude of positive experiences at museums and art sites around the world. I would not have gained so much appreciation and wisdom. This book, frankly, is the best to introduce yourself to the wonderful world of human creation and to create an insatiable desire to learn more about the human experience as seen through art.

I had to read the entire book in a school year for my art history class, and although there was a lot to get through, it is a quality textbook. Interesting to read with a good format and a large amount of information. I would recommend it to anyone into art history with a need for a compendium of all art from prehistoric to 20th century.

Art history is a discipline in crisis.
This text book shows all the seams.
It calls itself "art through the ages." It makes a pretense of being global. What it actually deals with is wealthy-white-male European art up until about 1900. Inside of that narrow lens, it can uphold the pretense of a narrative arc. Movements and developments that build upon each other to create one structure, one tradition. The story is in line with a 'Great Man' view of history that unspools with a certain succession of empires and kings and no need to think about the plebes. Just memorize the dates and you're done.
But everything outside of that one narrative arc haunts the discipline. Frightened, the editors make nods here and there to art happening in other places. They quickly clear their throats and get us back to Europe. But Europe itself is unspooling. When modern art hits, they lose the thread entirely. They become desperate. In the end, they can only huff and puff about the absurdities of "multiculturalism."
Within this story of art's history, art is rooted in conquering. Killing animals and humans. Building empire. Celebrating empire.
Sometimes something tumbles out from the gaps, even here. Small art, old faces, feathers and fur. Usually they call it "the grotesque."

I read this book in college and found it to be very educational and enjoyable. I have enjoyed pulling this book out for review several times since then. I recently read a great book called, "The Art Dockuments" by author Carlton Davis. This a non-fiction book with a collection of stories about the Los Angeles art gallery in the 1980s.

A veritable tome of a book that is used as a main text book for visual art, but a great reference work for art enthusiasts. Worth every cent ... one of those books that takes pride of place on any book shelf at home.

Up until reading this I'd only read one general survey of art history, and that, years before. John Elkin, once a student of the Art Institute in Chicago, had used this as a school text and recommended it as a good general survey. It was.

I've read this over, and over and over again. It's a text book, but it's beautiful. I think I have too many editions to admit. Time to bring it out again and read more :)

This tome contains way too much text. The photographs and drawings are black & white and grainy. Who ever heard of a black &white art book? First and foremost, you never start a sentence or a book with the word 鈥渂ecause鈥�. The grammar police have spoken. Ha! Ha!
I obviously did not finish this book.

July 19, 2016**6th Edition Review**
So much better than the modern version I used. This one covers all of art history (prehistory, through what was then recent in the 1960s/70s) and provides SO MUCH MORE actual historical background on both the history itself, as well as the artists, in addition to the artworks themselves. The pictures are mostly black and white (with color plates), but if you Google the artwork being discussed, you'll benefit even more from the history contained within.
It still is awkwardly worded and still doesn't say much, but it certainly says more than the 14th Edition I'm currently using for the second half (Renaissance to 1900) of art history.
*edit on May 8* I've now used this book for multiple other classes, aside from art history, namely for mythology and archaeology. Quite indispensable for liberal students... practically all subjects can be tied to art history in some way or another.

I would鈥檝e given this five stars when these textbooks first started circulating. It鈥檚 definitely a step up from 60鈥檚 college art history courses鈥攏o thanks to racists like W. H. Hanson, the prior textbook author鈥攂ut now it鈥檚 become the new Hanson. It lacks so much depth with other countries, even though it tries so hard. It suffers from a content problem too, a HUGE one. Whether or not to include new works comes at the cost of having to choose the works that it鈥檒l then replace. Obviously, the editors are gonna keep choosing Loacoan and his Sons over something more unique, contemporary, or鈥攎ore glaringly鈥攏on-western!
Pros: Great introduction to the field.
Cons: An introduction, and only an introduction. Don鈥檛 stop here unless you wanna be like every other tenured white Francophile art history professor.

This book is my art bible and #1 go-to reference. It doesn't provide _extensive_ information on every subject (that would be impossible), but it does provide most of the info you could possibly need, in a very organized, comprehendible manner. I love it! I have not looked at the 14th edition, but the 13th edition has been my good companion through many an art history course. The only downside is the weight of the beast.

This book does not cover "world artistic tradition" as claimed in the preface. It starts with Neo, Paleo, Mesolithic and early evolutionary history but somewhere along the line becomes all about Western art, church propaganda and role of Christianity ending with modern art. Africas, South Americas, Middle East and Eastern civilization constitute hardly 5% of the total material.

This is the 9th edition, hardcover. Comprehensive in terms of western art, with a good representation of non-European influences, it is understandably considered a standard text of art history education.

March 29, 2013Great survey of the history of art. Originally published in the 1920's it remains the standard and most used. It has gone through zillions of editions. More recent versions come with a CD/DVD of photos.
