  1. History of the World (book)

    History of the World ref History of the World editor W.N.Weech 1944 Odhams, Long Acre, London, WC2 no ISBN ref is a compendium written by a collection of noted historians. It was edited by William Nassau Weech, M.A., a former Headmaster of Sedbergh School and a very early aficionado of downhill skiing who also wrote By Ski in Norway , one of the first British accounts of the sport . First published by Odhams in 1944, History of the World ran to three editions, the second edition in 1959, and the third in 1965. The editor, W.N. Weech wrote in the Preface blockquote This book is designed for the ordinary man or woman, who should have no difficulty in getting through it in a month, though many may prefer to compress their first reading of it into a fortnight. blockquote W.N. Weech s History of the World is notable for bearing comparison with Ernst Gombrich s best selling Little History of the World , a book that is shorter and is addressed at younger reader. Gombrich, a Jewish emigr from Vienna, was an art historian better known for his classic work, The Story of Art . Weech s book is noteworthy not only as being both thorough and accessible, but also not unlike Gombrich s for maintaining a tolerant and measured style, despite being written through the dark days of Nazism . A contributor at the 2011 Hay Festival cited Weech s book as a remarkable discovery.

In critical analysis of the visual arts, the style of a work of art is often treated as distinct from its iconography , which covers the subject and the content of the work. By changing the way they paint, apply colour, texture, perspective, or the way they see shapes and ideas, the artist establishes a certain set of rules . If other artists see the rules as valid for themselves they might also apply these characteristics. The works of art then take on that specific style . An artist may give the style a name such as Expressionism , or a name may be applied later, as in the case of abstract art . The names of many styles are the invention of art historians and would not have been understood by the practitioners of those styles. Some originated as terms of derision, including Gothic style Gothic , Baroque , Rococo and Neoclassical style Neoclassical . ref Hugh Honour Honour, Hugh & John Fleming.
