The Art Book takes readers on a tour of the world's greatest artistic movements and works - from prehistoric cave painting to postmodern art - and the key ideas behind them. The second book in a new strand of DK's bestselling "Big Ideas" series that focuses on the visual and performing arts, The Art Book brings an innovative approach to the subject, with a strong graphic style and clear, readable text that helps to locate each artist within a broader cultural context.

Through relevant examples from the workplace to the football field, readers are offered a connection from their daily lives to the complex theories of psychology. Told in an accessible and jargon-free style.
