Art HistoryOxford History of Art series
The Oxford History of Art is a major series of ground-breaking, authoritative, and beautifully illustrated books by art historians at the forefront of new thinking. The last thirty years have witnessed profound changes in both the nature and study of art. While artists have employed startling new techniques to test old assumptions, an new generation of scholars have rejected formal approaches to breathe fresh life into the field of art criticism.
In 1997, Oxford University Press launched, to widespread acclaim, a new paperback series which took these changes into account. Written by leading scholars at the forefront of new thinking, and beautifully illustrated, these substantial and innovative texts clarify, illuminate, and debate the critical issues at the heart of art history today.
