Description
The Graphic Canon, Volume 2 gives us a visual cornucopia based on the wealth of literature from the 1800s.

Description
When Harry Abrams first published the History of Art in 1962, John F. Kennedy occupied the White House, and Andy Warhol was an emerging artist. Janson offered his readers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view.
