Larousse Encyclopedia of Prehistoric and Ancient Art

This book presents a new view of art in its proper context - the art not only of our Western tradition but also of Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands, Australasia and the Americas - from the earliest man-made objects to the massive achievements of Greece and Rome. It thus constitutes and essential work of reference as well as a volume which, in the freshness of its approach, out-dates all other books on the fascinating story of art.
