The second edition of Art History: The Basics continues the authors' investments in making art history accessible to a variety of 21st-century readers. Clear and cogent, it reconsiders who and what "the nuts" of art history are by freshening up the canon of intellectual debates, methodologies, and interpretations that class fine art history's discourse in the west and incorporating more recent and urgent conversations about gender, sexual orientation, de-colonialization, and "otherness" that proceed to touch the discipline in radical and transformative ways. Predicating a text on a transformative model, as Newall and Pooke have done, reminds readers that fine art history is an inherently living discourse demanding new revisions as it adheres to new and irresolute contexts at present and into the time to come. Jordan Amirkhani, Professorial Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art History, American Academy, Washington, DCFew art history textbooks today address so comprehensively the underlying problems and histories of art history the way this book does. Without a doubt, this book is the new companion of every serious art history professor and instructor.May F. El-Hage, fine art historian and curator, Beirut, Lebanon
