The visual arts from all periods and all places have never been more accessible than they are today: travel, exhibitions, books and other media have made them so. With accessibility has come the vital need for rapid yet authoritative explanation and definition. In this dictionary, more than 2000 entries embrace the vast vocabulary of painting and sculpture, architecture and photography, the decorative, applied and graphic arts. And more than 300 illustrations and diagrams play a vital role as information: art movements become immediately recognizable by a representative painting; the defining features of each order of architecture are identifiable at a glance. The geographical spread is global; the chronological range takes in both Helladic art from Bronze Age Greece and holography, one of the newest means of expression provided by modern technology.
