Over its five editions, Living with Art has become the "gold standard," the book against which all other art appreciation texts are judged. The uniquely clear and comprehensive discussion of the themes, purposes, and elements of art lays a solid foundation for majors and non-majors alike to progress to sections on art media and history. This was the first book to pay close attention to the coordination of the art and the text, designing the layout so that all art appeared on or facing the page on which it was discussed. The accuracy of the color and quality of the reproductions have remained unmatched in five editions. Finally, this text has, from the first, offered the widest representation of diverse artists, cultures, media, and time periods, with greater inclusion of women, artists of color, crafts, and contemporary art. Each copy of the book comes with a free ancillary package including a timeline, Writing Guide, Projects Manual, Pronunciation Guide, and Overlays.. Fifth Edition. Paperback. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
