Discover how artists see the world and inspire each other with common themes and sensibilities, materials and techniques.

A foldout, detachable timeline offering further perspective is also included. Review: Bizarrely Designed Tome - The book is comprehensive in its scope and content. The curatorial concept and organisation of the artworks is certainly as stated in the blurb “unconventional” I’ll reserve judgement on whether this will lead to making connections and insights, until I have explored further. Although picture captions in the essays section e.g p045 Fig. 3. without any text description seem ridiculously obtuse. What is completely bizarre is the books design. When opened the book is the size of a large art book PLUS half that width again, making it impossible to hold. This is to accommodate a very small, poorly realised, and utterly underwhelming timeline with 2 pages on the front and 3 on the reverse. The adhesive on this detached within 10 secs of opening. The print quality of the reproduced artworks is lacklustre and lacks vibrancy. I can’t believe the publishers were happy with the quality of the book when delivered from the Chinese printers, but the already considerable delay in publication, and the huge investment of time and money must have overridden quality control considerations. Disappointing! Review: Disappointing... - This book is just too cumbersome to handle and its layout confusing. It's not enjoyable at all. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 215,864 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 167 in Art Encyclopaedias 3,233 in Art History by Theme & Concept | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 169 Reviews | ## Images ![Art =: Discovering Infinite Connections in Art History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BuF5yFRKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Bizarrely Designed Tome *by M***L on 4 July 2020* The book is comprehensive in its scope and content.

Disappointing! ### ⭐⭐ Disappointing... *by A***M on 4 October 2020* This book is just too cumbersome to handle and its layout confusing. It's not enjoyable at all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entusiasmante! consigliato 100% *by F***A on 19 February 2023* Un libro appassionante, ammiccante, esaustivo per farsi un'idea ma anche fonte di spunti per approfondimenti ulteriori. L’eclettismo nell’arte è un dono. Questo libro ci fa apprezzare quello che noi riteniamo bello dai primordi alla contemporaneità, e ci ricorda che molto spesso quello che noi riteniamo bello è stato selezionato nei millenni e tramandato. Il MET ci porta per mano lungo questo percorso. Ci sorprende con questo avvicinare l’arte della Polinesia ai sumeri al cubismo etc etc. Per i neofiti è stupore per i conoscitori idem. Un esempio per tutti - oggetti/soggetti: fiori. Da Degas a Tutankhanun,da Tiffany aGeirgia O’Keefe,dal pannello di Ogata Kõri a Van Gogh e così via. È da consigliare ai giovani un mirabolante turbinio dalla preistoria ad oggi di ARTE. Una conferma per gli estimatori del MET e di chi ne cura i bollettini e le esposizioni. Ottima la qualità di stampa, immagini molto curate, fotografie eccellenti. Davvero un bel volume, da sfogliare e ri-sfogliare nel tempo. Ne sono entusiasta e lo consiglio, anche come idea regalo. 5 stelle. Spero la mia esperienza possa esservi d'aiuto nel valutare i vostri acquisti, grazie e alla prossima. ## Frequently Bought Together - Art = - MoMA Now: MoMA Highlights 90th Anniversary Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/196800217-art-discovering-infinite-connections-in-art-history](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/196800217-art-discovering-infinite-connections-in-art-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-10-21*
