This is a richly informative book . . . probably as excellent a book as can be written to give substance and illustration to the theme that the arts have a significant history only in the sense of a history of styles, and that an analysis and description of styles . . . will reveal that painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, and music have features and qualities common to one of these prevailing styles and reveal these usually within the same time periods. ... It is a beautifully wrought intellectualized history, bespeaking a love of the arts.
