1.Art in Theory 1900-2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas from: WileyBlackwell September 23, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £21.19 You Save: £3.80 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £22.98
This book is filled to the brim with 371, yes 371 individual sources/texts each with an introduction to contextualise each one. Using it for an essay or dissertation will provide you with quotes that you would not be able to find in other books as well as giving you some of the more obvious source which are great too. It is a big book at 1250 pages which was intimating at first when it dropped through the door but really quickly I discovered that its as good as having a whole library in one book which is just about portable. This is a great book and when you start using it you will realise what a bargain it is too. Worth its weight in gold

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.72 You Save: £5.23 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.94
A good text book, especially for students (like myself) who come from a a non-history background to study art history. Useful in preparing avenues for research topics or for constructing essays. I wish I had used this book more when I was studying for my MA!

4.Painting and Experience in Fifteenth Century Italy: A Primer in the Social History of Pictorial Style (Oxford Paperbacks) by: Michael Baxandall May 19, 1988

This is the kind of book that History of Art departments throw at you early on in their courses to instil the right respect and awe for the whole academic ritual. When I first saw this book at Birkbeck College (2003 History of Art MA) I was duly impressed and intimidated into thinking this was somehow a classic. In this work Baxandall is the exemplary academic, slowly building up a case from painstaking research and cleverly interpreted trivia. This approach is fine and dandy until you reflect that at the end of it the conclusions Baxandall has laboured so hard to arrive at are perhaps a little banal -- i.e. Renaissance painting was influenced by such contemporary phenomenon as religious practices, dancing, and the ability ...

6.Caravaggio: A Life by: Helen Langdon November 04, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.04 You Save: £5.95 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.00
This is a very well-written book about the life and times of Caravaggio, paying a considerable amount of attention towards even the smallest details. Although I did find this book paid more attention towards what happened in his life as opposed to his paintings, this is a biography and not an art book. Although the level of detail is astounding and anybody looking into Caravaggio should consider this book an absolute must.

9.Ways of Seeing: Based on the BBC Television Series by: John Berger 1990-05

'Ways of Seeing' is a book which some readers may find a bit puzzling. The ads reproduced in its pages look naive to us, in their unsophisticated emphasis on luxury and glamour, and Berger's commentary on advertising may seem a bit simple, but if so it's because he was one of the first and best critics to compare the effects and uses of advertising and fine art. The main difference between him and most contemporary commentators is that Berger had an independent perspective that they lack; his analysis has far more steel and indignation than the work of someone like Peter York, who comments on ads from the insider's perspective of "Is it effective or not?" Berger refuses to be seduced into talking about ads on their own terms. While the specific tactics used ... Read More:

10.Venice and the Renaissance by: M Tafuri May 03, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £19.90 You Save: £1.05 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £15.78
This is one of the worst-written books I have ever read. The writing is pretentious and incomprehensible. The translator should have made more of an attempt to make it readable for other than academics, by using normal English rather than trying to show off her knowledge of obscure words. The writing makes it difficult to get to the underlying ideas. Don't read it unless you have to (its a set book for OU course A840).
