The Story of Art Paperback – 6 December 1995

Gombrich is a writer of great clarity. He tells an excellent story of western art with simplicity snd clarity, expressing at times profound understandings in such language.

A classical in excellent conditions, I can't stop reading this amazing book. If you are a teacher or art student, this book will help you, offering you a summary of all the basis of ocidental Art History in a very simple and clear language.

I love the way the author has written this book. Although I haven't finished it yet, he writes in a style that anyone would feel comfortable with. I feel as if he was trying to avoid any pretentiousness at all. He clearly states that art is to be enjoyed by everyone and what one person appreciates in one piece of art, is not necessarily what another does, or even has to. If you want to understand the thinking of the early artists who painted on caves, or why the Egyptians created their individual style of art then read this book.My daughter has also read this and wants to read it again after I have finished it. Great book, great read.

Uno de los mejores libros sobre la historia del arte: Resume casi toda la historia en 500 páginas con algunos gráficos en el final del libro.

This book was a happy surprise, I bought it used, and It looks like a book well kept by my mother. Its edition is from 1978, but it is in great shape, and having it feels like having a treasure. Could't be more satisfy if it was new.
