The market-leading art appreciation textbook — built around learning to look, not to memorise dates.

Gateways to Art: Understanding the Visual Arts, Second Edition, is organised so that the same works reappear from different angles as the book progresses, building the connections that make art history stick. This revised and expanded edition carries a greater emphasis on visual culture and contemporary art, adds Visual Galleries to close each chapter, and includes a dedicated chapter on Content and Analysis that walks students step by step through detailed readings of major works.
