Exploring Art: A Global Thematic Approach

Exploring Art: A Global Thematic Approach by Lazzari and Schlesier is a richly illustrated introductory art text that organises the history of art around universal human themes rather than strict chronology or geography. By grouping works from diverse cultures and time periods around shared subjects — such as the body, the sacred, power, and nature — the book encourages students to make meaningful connections across artistic traditions. Its global scope and accessible writing make it an ideal text for diverse student populations and cross-cultural studies. A fresh and inclusive alternative to traditional art history surveys.
