dsbrack Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have searched the boards and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Does anyone have suggestions for an art book that would have FULL page spreads of famous art works? Maybe some kind of coffee table book? I don't want just one artist in the book either. Bonus points if it is chronological. Does this exist? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wendy Beckett's Story of Painting is sort of like that though IIRC (I can't find it atm) it's more 1 page rather than across the full double page spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Well, this book doesn't have full page pictures...and I'm certain it's not chronological...but we like The Usborne Book of Famous Paintings. Btw, Usborne has some other really nice art books, art cards, and some fun art sticker books (the stickers look like framed artwork). You can see some of them if you click on the art cards at the above link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The Big Book of Art by Collins is chronological "from cave art to pop art", sadly the pictures are not full page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrayshire Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 We use this book for our living room table: http://www.amazon.com/Art-Over-Works-Cave-Contemporary/dp/0756639727/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1421538489&sr=8-17&keywords=Art+books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
