Society and class influence all cultures and have always inspired important works of art. For thousands of years, artists have been holding up a mirror to our world. Through their images, we can see the way that people of different classes have lived, and how they have related to each other in society. This book explains how art styles have developed through time, and how artists' techniques add to our understanding of their work. Art is captured in a wide range of media, including photography, painting, sculpture, posters, textiles, and film. The information to help interpret works of art and understand the time in history in which they were created are included in this book.
