A Great Place to Start!!! :-{D}

If you are interested in art theory from the perspective of artists and wish to read theory from centuries ago up to the last century, this is a great place to start. If you enjoy the Art in Theory series, this is a relevant addition to your reading. Art in Theory starts with writings from 1648 on. The earliest piece in this book is from some undated time between 1372 and 1400. It would be great if the book were expanded or if the Art in Theory series had another book added to it that stretched back to the earliest writings on art, but for now, this is the best book that I can find of its type.
