This short reference list aims to help examination candidates get a coherent overview of important developments of Western Art History. Most of the cited titles have been published after the mid-20th century; updated editions are still available showing the books’ importance and topicality. Best start with Kemp, Gombrich and Summerson. “The Koch” (A Handbook of European Architectural Styles) offers a clear, concise and consistent introduction into the stylistic developments of European architecture and contains a glossary (dictionary of technical terms) of architectural terminology. Through reading selected chapters of the comprehensive and richly illustrated surveys by Honour and Janson you will enlarge your knowledge of artworks and monuments and understand better the arts against their historical, political and socio-cultural.
