A very quick art history is a clear, lively, and enjoyable introduction to art history. Carla Serrano, art historian and cultural communicator, guides us through the main artistic movements from cave paintings to digital art, explaining their context, key points, and most outstanding artists.

This book debunks common myths and reveals surprising curiosities, such as the fact that abstract art already existed in the Paleolithic, or that many artists admired today were rejected in their time.
