The Story of Art
by E. H. Gombrich
E.H. Gombrich's The Story of Art is the most companionable survey of Western art ever written, a single clear voice walking you from cave paintings to modernism without a shred of jargon. It explains not just what artists made but the problems they were trying to solve.
