Not a book, but Linda Nochlin‘s “Why Have There Been No Great Woman Artists?” is literally the reason I changed my major to art history. That essay literally changed my life.

YES I’ve always been interested in learning about art history but it seemed so intimidating (there’s soooo much information). Thank you for this!

Anne D’Alleva and Michael Cothren’s Fundamentals of Art History is a good “why we study art history—and how to approach the study” primer.

I love Ways of Seeing so much! I’m always recommend it to my students because it’s so engaging and still relevant

Women in the Picture: What Culture Does with Female Bodies by Catherine McCormack and The Whole Picture by Alice Proctor should also be on that list!

If anyone had told me (before discovering your channel) that I’ll one day be reading books on art history, I would have laughed. Seriously! But don’t mind me…I’m just off to my library to go check these out 😂❤️

Is there one for beginners that kind of treats it like a history book for context but has lots of pictures of the art

French here, do you truly get none at all in your "standard" curriculum ? We don't get a dedicated subject but parts of the curricula in both arts and history class all throughout middle and highschool do touch on it, having none at all seems insane.

Coming from your personal curriculum video- how would you create a “curriculum” for art history? I feel like this is a topic I am interested in but there’s so much so I don’t know where to start!
