Living With Art

Living With Art by Mark Getlein is one of the most widely used introductory art appreciation texts in higher education, celebrated for its engaging writing, comprehensive coverage, and exceptional image programme. The book introduces students to the elements and principles of design, major art forms and media, and the sweep of art history from prehistoric times to the contemporary world. Getlein's accessible approach encourages readers to develop their own informed responses to works of art rather than simply memorising facts. A foundational text for any art appreciation or art history course.
