Gardner's Art Through The Ages

Gardner's Art Through the Ages is an American textbook on the history of art, with the 2004 edition by Fred Due south. Kleiner and Christin J. Mamiya. The 2001 edition was awarded both a McGuffey honour for longevity^[i] and the "Texty" Honour for current editions^[two] past the Text and Academic Authors Association. No other book has received both awards in the aforementioned year.

The beginning edition published in 1926 was written past Helen Gardner. Information technology, similar all following editions, was organized chronologically beginning with "The Birth of Art" in the Upper Paleolithic and progressing in a mainly chronological sequence to the contemporary menses.

Gardner's initial edition was ahead of its time in that along with the Western catechism of European art, it examined the art of India, Aboriginal America, China, and Japan. This approach was maintained for the first three editions that were all edited by Helen Gardner. The second edition was published in 1936 and the 3rd came out in 1948, a year later Gardner died. In 1959, the fourth edition was published under the editorship of Sumner McK. Crosby by the Department of the History of Fine art at Yale University. This edition introduced readers to a new term "non-European art." Information technology also moved away from Gardner'south interest in drawing comparisons between art from dissimilar parts of the world. In the Preface, Crosby states:

Although Miss Gardner's organisation of the 3rd Edition provided many opportunities for interesting comparisons and fabricated it possible to written report in adjacent capacity what was occurring in dissimilar parts of the earth during more or less the same historic periods, this organization often obscured the intrinsic qualities and peculiarly the development of the different styles. As our tabular array of contents indicates, we have presented the arts of different periods and countries in a more normal order. The division into Aboriginal, European, Non-European, and Modernistic Art and the grouping by periods and countries under these divisions will, we believe, provide a clear and coherent chronological account of the history of fine art throughout the earth.

Sumner'southward organization continues to be used in editions of Gardner'due south. The book has remained a required text for introductory classes in art history for American students into the 21st century.^{[three] [4]}
