The Story of Art
E. H Gombrich
This book should be the first on the list for anyone interested in a career in the arts. The story of art is exactly what it says on the tin, it is a story which takes you on a journey from Egyptian 2345BC to biblical art in the fourth century AD, to the age of reason in the eighteenth century, to experimental art in the twentieth century.
The journey is narrated in a simple easy to read chronological manor, which will not confuse even the beginners of you. There are lots of pictures for visual reference and plenty of dates to chew on.
This book is on every art student's first year reading list but is often dismissed for more contemporary dialogs on particular genres of art. A graphic designer might ask why he is reading a generalist book on fine art when he is studying design? The answer is obvious. To understand graphic design, it has to be put into the context of history. What has changed? Who has influenced, what new mediums are being used? How have we arrived at this new form of communication?
Grombrich explains all.
