discovering infinite connections in art history

An entirely new approach to exploring global art history, presented through the lens of one of the world's leading art museums. Featuring more than 800 artworks from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, this groundbreaking book - organized by thematic keywords rather than the usual chronological or geographical categories, and drawing upon analytics from The Met's online Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History - offers fresh, unconventional ways of engaging with visual culture. Beyond the wealth of illustration, more than 160 engaging curatorial essays place the works in wider contexts, while a foldout, detachable timeline offers further perspective. Published to coincide with The Met's 150th anniversary celebrations in 2020"Art= is a groundbreaking book that: offers fresh and unconventional ways of exploring visual culture from around the world through the lens of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's vast and unsurpassed collection. Ingeniously designed with color-coded sections and four ribbons to assist navigation and cross-referencing, this beautifully produced volume is an essential reference book for all interested in fine art, ancient cultures, fashion, design, photography, and the infinite connections in between."--back cover
