Intended as a guide to basic books in art history for general readers and beginning to advanced students, this annotated bibliography identifies works published between 1958 and 1973. Part 1 lists basic reference tools, and Part 2 lists basic histories and handbooks of world art history. The classification system used is geography-based and includes four broad catagories: Europe, Orient, New World, and Africa and Oceania. Each is further subdivided into nations and regions. The European section is also divided into major periods and styles. Author, title, and subject indexes are provided together with comments on the state of research in various areas of art history.
