ANDRÉ BLUM (1881–1963)

A Short History Of Art: From Prehistoric Times To The Present Day (1926) · Edited & Enlarged by Robert Rattray Tatlock (1889–1954)

ℹ️ "DR. ANDRÉ BLUM'S "Short History of Art" has already achieved a remarkable success in France, and is in course of translation into several languages ; and it is hoped that the English edition will prove of value and utility to the student and general reader in filling a gap between the rather brief "outlines" of Art History and more bulky and expensive manuals running into several volumes. Dr. Blum has set out to trace impartially the course of Art development in Europe and the Ancient Near East from prehistoric times onwards, with a glance at modern America. This he has accomplished within the scope of a single volume, adopting throughout a concise and easy narrative form. It is suggested, therefore, that the work will be found adapted for the ordinary reader as a general introductory view and reference work, and for the student as an introduction to more specialised study." (Preface)
