Huffington Post: New Edition Of 'THE ART BOOK' By Phaidon Press Features 600 Works Of Art (PHOTOS)

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 10:38 AM PDT

Art classification is not for the weary-hearted. Sure, sorting the Impressionists from the Cubists might be a task worth little debate, but what happens when art skirts the line between Baroque and Rococo? Dada and Surrealist? Anti-art and anti-anti-art? Sometimes classifying art only makes understanding the shifts in art history more confusing.

This is the philosophy that editors at Phaidon first took on in 1994, when they published the first fully-illustrated art dictionary, "The Art Book." The anthology of art over the ages provided an image heavy overview of masterworks -- sans classification. Simply organized in alphabetical order, the gigantic art reference featured 500 works from the Middle Ages to the mid-'90s, tossing together the various movements, periods and schools in an impressive visual display that had never been attempted in this particular way before.

"Great art can exciting, inspiring and thought provoking, but it can also be confusing," remarks Amanda Renshaw, Phaidon Editorial Director, on Phaidon's website. "The key to 'The Art Book's' success is its simplicity. It's an easy way into that world that is exciting and inspiring, and it's a door that's open to everyone."
