BIBLIOGRAPHY
This list of books is very selective but comprehensive enough to satisfy the reading interests of the beginning art
history student and general reader. The resources listed range from works that are valuable primarily for their
reproductions to those that are scholarly surveys of schools and periods or monographs on individual artists.
The emphasis is on recent in-print books and on books likely to be found in college and municipal libraries. No
entries for periodical articles appear, but the bibliography begins with a list of some of the major journals that
publish art historical scholarship in English.Selected Periodicals
