The Developement Of Style
From Immwiki
A volumous tome stands on the pedestal by the southern door. Its leather-bound cover opens to reveal the following first page: ================================== "The Developement of Style" - being a concise history of Avendarian art, from the Ancient Alatharyan period to the present, by Engleham Wellingsley III ================================== Here is set forth, in concise format, the major influences of every formally recognised artistic period of Avendarian history. The reader will, I trust, forgive my somewhat dry and direct discourse in this presentation. My intention is to provide a work of reference, rather than a subjective commentary of the field - for such a treatise, the reader is encouraged to refer to the author's autobiography: "A Stroke of Genius" - being an exposition of the life of renowned artist, critic and art historian, Engleham Wellingsley III ================================== Contents: Chapter 1 ........... A list of art periods in their historical context Chapter 2 ........... Periods of art from pre-Sundering to the War of Fire Chapter 3 ........... Periods of art from the War of Fire to the War of Night Chapter 4 ........... Periods of art from the War of Night to the Kankoran Wars Chapter 5 ........... Periods of art from the Kankoran Wars to the present Chapter 6 ........... A guide to artistic contributions by race ================================== (enter: "read 1", etc.)
