Neo-Classicism (Style and Civilization)

One of the clearest and verviest volumes of art history. Eye-opening in the best sense: If you think of neoclassicism as a chilly, authoritarian, kaput style and subject, you're in for some surprises. You may even start to find neoclassicism entrancing and exciting. Hugh Honour has an easy, unstressed verbal grace, and an educated and incisive mind.
