Artsguide: World and Web illumines what can be seen and heard in works of visual and performing arts and architecture and illustrates the fundamental qualities of artistic style. It also takes readers to the World Wide Web for additional historical information and illustrations. Its music sections coordinate with a CD available from Prentice Hall. Whether the reader is in a museum, at a play, at a concert, or on the street, Artsguide: World and Web's straightforward organization makes information easy to find. It is a guide to locating and focusing on important works of art and architecture in major cities and culture-rich areas in the United States and Europe. The sections titled "101 Must-See Works of Architecture" and "200 Masterworks of Painting and Sculpture," organized by locale, make discovering a city and its museums a pleasure. "258 Major Artists, Playwrights, Composers, Architects, and Choreographers and their Styles" brings the wide history of the arts to the reader's fingertips. Addresses for connecting with the World Wide Web provide passports for further investigation, leading to actual artworks and more historical and stylistic information.
