Reviews
If The Story of Art were written today, it would look very much like Creation ... This bountifully illustrated book is a history of connections ... [Stonard has a] lucid, thoughtful style ... He manages to show both how the great names of Western art and their peers elsewhere in the world were driven by the same forces, but above all that making art is "part of what it means to be human", Stonard traverses the sweep of human history , moving between cultures and hemispheres ... His book consists of myriad flashes of brilliance and inventiveness ... In sheer scope and ambition , Creation finds a precedent in Ernst Gombrich's The Story of Art (1950) ... Stonard both emulates and expands upon Gombrich's masterly and ubiquitous account. But he also offers something distinct, substituting the grand narrative with a pluralistic, incidental and shifting approach. It leads into the near present in the style of a prolonged ellipsis - a promise of "more to come", "In this thoughtful and engaging book, [Stonard] takes us around the world and through the ages to explore that shared creative impulse and its myriad results . . . Stonard's fresh, insightful approach to the history of art will appeal to both the aficionado and the casual museum-goer." - Booklist

Synopsis
An ambitious, thrilling and landmark work, Creation explores the remarkable endurance of humankind's creative impulse, and asks how - and why - we create. Art historian John-Paul Stonard has travelled across continents to take us on a panoramic journey through the history of art. In twenty-seven lavishly illustrated chapters, Stonard traces the evolution of art and its myriad influences from prehistory to the present day - from ancient Anatolian standing stones to a Qing Dynasty ink handscroll, from a drawing by a Kiowa artist from the Great Plains to a post-independence Congolese painting. Book jacket., From distinguished critic and curator John-Paul Stonard, a dazzling, panoramic world history of art from ancient times to the present for the twenty-first century reader. Creation tells the extraordinary story of how people all over the globe, from prehistory to the present day, have created images in order to understand the world they inhabit. It explores the remarkable endurance of this creative impulse, and by tracing the diversity of artistic forms through the ages, offers a comprehensive and exhilarating introduction to world art. Historian, critic, and curator John-Paul Stonard has assembled a dazzling array of paintings, sculptures and artifacts to tell a story of vitality and renewal. Fully illustrated, each chapter of Creation allows intimate access to key works of art and the conversations surrounding them, from the earliest cave paintings of the Palaeolithic Era to the conceptual art of today. Stonard has written a captivating and searching look at the evolving legacies of the past and casts a cold eye on our own unstable vantage point., From distinguished critic and curator John-Paul Stonard, a dazzling, panoramic world history of art from ancient times to the present for the twenty-first century reader.
