What's a good book on art history? I know there's no one definitive text and you guys have probably had this thread many times before, but since there were no links or anything in the sticky I figured I would just ask. I'm not that interested in anything past the early impressionists, if that helps.
What's a good book on art history...

You are in the wrong place.

I mean, classical artwork is stated as one of the purposes of this board right there in the sticky. If you're suggesting I go to /ic/ I can assure you I'm far less likely to find what I'm looking for there.

I am saying if you are looking for books than you are in the wrong fucking place.
>being this dense.

You're saying that history books aren't within the scope of Veeky Forums? Are you suggesting I go to Veeky Forums? I'm seeing no need for insults here, I'm just looking to learn.

Are you literally retarded? This is a place for discussing what is inside the books you are looking for, not asking for books. There is a fucking board for that you utter moron.
You are like the person who wants to discuss "historical movies" fuck off. Come here once you've read the books you are looking for, then we will talk.
Retard.

I am going to samefag here. But had you actually read the fucking sticky on this board you would fucking see that discussion of literature, even historically related do not belong here.
Again, fuck off. I wish I could see your face when this thread gets purged and you get a 24 hour mute.

Kill yourself. End your life. You bring no good to anyone, and the world would be better off if you disappeared.

Janson is a good basic resource for a wide, wide overview of Western art history, from Sumer to about 1950. It's somewhat dry, but it will familiarize you so you'll at least be able to say "oh, that's probably from X era, I can tell because Y." It focuses on sculpture, images, and architecture.

This is why this place is so shit.

Where are you faggots in the countless religion threads, this is at least different and fosters learning, rather than vitriole
