It’s writing is short and sweet with pictures of every art piece from painting-sculpture-metalworks-jewelry-frescos-statues-vases etc... if you need this for school or scholarly use, at the end of the book it’s has the date, publisher so fourth to work cite your sources. It’s a very good book and small but heavy. I use little post it notes to bookmark my sources. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Argument against the 1 star rating *by A***R on September 1, 2011* This is a response to the one star rating. The book is phenomenal. After a lifetime of passion for art including a university and graduate (PhD) education in the social sciences and humanities I found much that was new to learn and love in this book. It challenges elitist notions of what art is or should be with its innovative chronology rather than "movement" inspired organization and I think is in itself a cutting-edge work of literary art. The pieces are heavily cross-referenced so you lose nothing by having all the art from the same movement dispersed rather than side by side. Each description is witty and brings a fresh perspective, motivating me to read even the descriptions of pieces I have read whole books about. I have read it cover to cover and given copies to friends as gifts. It is nearly worth its hefty weight in gold ($1,000 give or take a few hundred). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved it *by J***A on June 4, 2009* Each artwork has a whole page for itself. A large coloured photo and some information on it. This book lets you sample artwork throughout the years from all over the world. I say "sample" because it doesn't go too deep into the history or meaning of each piece. Doing so would probably turn it into a mess.If you want a narrow, in depth analysis of one culture or style, this book would not be what you're looking for. If you want to know what artwork has been made for 30,000 years or you just like beautiful things to look at, then you might like this book.Plus, its pretty cheap for it's size. ## Frequently Bought Together - 30,000 Years of Art : The Story of Human Creativity across Time and Space (mini format - includes 600 of the world’s greatest works) - The Art Book (Revised and Expanded 2020 Edition) - Modern Art: 1870 - 2000: Impressionism to Today --- ## 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.sn/products/103327194-30-000-years-of-art-the-story-of-human-creativity](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/103327194-30-000-years-of-art-the-story-of-human-creativity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
