Gardners Art Through the Ages Concise Global History Chapter 20 Summary
Gardner'south Art Through The Ages
Gardner'southward Art Through the Ages is an American textbook on the history of art, with the 2004 edition by Fred S. Kleiner and Christin J. Mamiya. The 2001 edition was awarded both a McGuffey award for longevity[one] and the "Texty" Laurels for electric current editions[2] past the Text and Academic Authors Association. No other book has received both awards in the same yr.
The showtime edition published in 1926 was written past Helen Gardner. It, like all following editions, was organized chronologically get-go with "The Nascency of Art" in the Upper Paleolithic and progressing in a mainly chronological sequence to the contemporary period.
Gardner'southward initial edition was ahead of its time in that along with the Western canon of European art, it examined the fine art of Bharat, Aboriginal America, China, and Japan. This approach was maintained for the showtime three editions that were all edited by Helen Gardner. The 2d edition was published in 1936 and the 3rd came out in 1948, a twelvemonth afterwards Gardner died. In 1959, the fourth edition was published nether the editorship of Sumner McK. Crosby past the Department of the History of Art at Yale University. This edition introduced readers to a new term "non-European art." It as well moved away from Gardner's interest in drawing comparisons between art from different parts of the globe. In the Preface, Crosby states:
- Although Miss Gardner's organisation of the Third Edition provided many opportunities for interesting comparisons and made information technology possible to study in next chapters what was occurring in different parts of the globe during more or less the same historic periods, this system often obscured the intrinsic qualities and especially the evolution of the different styles. As our table of contents indicates, nosotros take presented the arts of unlike periods and countries in a more normal order. The sectionalization into Ancient, European, Non-European, and Modern Art and the group by periods and countries under these divisions volition, we believe, provide a clear and coherent chronological account of the history of fine art throughout the globe.
Sumner's organisation continues to be used in editions of Gardner'due south. The book has remained a required text for introductory classes in art history for American students into the 21st century.[iii] [4]
