Summary:

How do we do justice to art when we treat it not as a discrete European or other regional tradition, but as a worldwide phenomenon with a long history? These essays explore the conflict between the need to compress and the desire to express the worlds art. All those who work with art, whether as curators, teachers, librarians, bibliographers, administrators, or writers, face this challenge as they work with art of more than one individual, place, persiod, or culture. Sixteen scholars from nine different countries explore the conflict and address the many questions that emerge--From publisher description.
