Art of the Western World, edited by Denise Hooker, is a sweeping survey of Western art history, chronicling the evolution of artistic movements from ancient civilisations through to the modern era. With an introduction by Edmund Capon, former Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the volume presents authoritative insight into the cultural and historical forces that shaped painting, sculpture, and architecture across Europe and the Americas. The text argues that art is inseparable from its social and political context, illustrating how each era's masterworks reflect the world that produced them. Richly detailed and accessibly written, it serves as an indispensable reference for students, collectors, and art enthusiasts alike, presenting centuries of creative achievement in a single comprehensive volume.
