The essays, which pay special attention to the context of each artwork, are accompanied by nearly 2,000 illustrations. With a glossary of essential art terms, a special techniques section, and the inclusion of architectural drawings and plans, Stokstad's Art History is an exemplary reference for students and professionals alike. Basically what you'd expect when you hear the words 'art history textbook': dry, boring, too many names and dates and not nearly enough political/social/historical context to explain why the particular works are significant. This really only covers Western art history and skims over the rest of the world with multiple cultures crammed in only a few chapters while the sections on Western movements (comprising 95% of the book) include a lot of unnecessary details (eg.

Is widely used as the textbook for introductory art history courses. From the start it’s clear how this is what both the two volume and the abridged single volume editions are meant for. Keeping that in mind, I’d say it’s not a bad textbook.

Keeping that in mind, I’d say it’s not a bad textbook. As far as I can tell, all central concepts and production techniques from ancient to modern are being introduced and a few basics of art critique can be found hidden in between the pages as well. Considering the purpose, the choice of presentation is unsurprising and familiar. Just like modern art history textbooks after Vasari tend to do, the subject matter is divided into time periods.
