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
