Gardner'south Art Through The Ages

Gardner'due south Art Through the Ages is an American textbook on the history of art, with the 2004 edition by Fred S. Kleiner and Christin J. Mamiya. The 2001 edition was awarded both a McGuffey honour for longevity^[1] and the "Texty" Award for electric current editions^[2] by the Text and Academic Authors Association. No other book has received both awards in the same twelvemonth.

The first edition published in 1926 was written past Helen Gardner. It, like all following editions, was organized chronologically showtime with "The Birth of Art" in the Upper Paleolithic and progressing in a mainly chronological sequence to the contemporary flow.

Gardner's initial edition was ahead of its time in that along with the Western canon of European art, it examined the art of Bharat, Aboriginal America, China, and Japan. This approach was maintained for the offset three editions that were all edited by Helen Gardner. The 2nd edition was published in 1936 and the 3rd came out in 1948, a year afterward Gardner died. In 1959, the quaternary edition was published under the editorship of Sumner McK. Crosby by the Department of the History of Fine art at Yale University. This edition introduced readers to a new term "non-European art." It also moved away from Gardner's interest in drawing comparisons betwixt art from unlike parts of the earth. In the Preface, Crosby states:

Although Miss Gardner'south organization of the 3rd Edition provided many opportunities for interesting comparisons and fabricated information technology possible to study in next chapters what was occurring in different parts of the world during more or less the same historic periods, this organization frequently obscured the intrinsic qualities and particularly the evolution of the different styles. As our table of contents indicates, we have presented the arts of unlike periods and countries in a more normal order. The sectionalization into Ancient, European, Non-European, and Modern Art and the grouping past periods and countries under these divisions will, we believe, provide a clear and coherent chronological account of the history of art throughout the earth.

Sumner'southward organization continues to be used in editions of Gardner'due south. The book has remained a required text for introductory classes in art history for American students into the 21st century.^{[3] [4]}
