Book News Annotation:Phaidon has succeeded admirably in producing an appealing reprint of
this classic introduction to the world of art. Published in a small
format with a sturdy but flexible cover and containing full-page
color plates of good quality, the text is published on onion skin
with ribbons for page markers. Gombrich (d.2001) achieved a classic
in this text through his attention to context and larger issues, deft
description of the aesthetics of artistic styles, breadth of focus
that included the arts of Asia as well as the West, and a gift for
conveying in a timeless manner the meaning of art. The 1995 edition
reprinted here was the 16th edition of a text originally published in
1950.
