Famous Works of Art in Popular Culture: A Reference Guide

Certain works of art―Mona Lisa, the Statue of Liberty, Rodin's The Thinker, Grant Wood's American Gothic―are famous to everyone: those who love art and those who are generally indifferent to it.

These art biographies are collected in five sections: • Ancient Monuments • Monuments to the Modern World • Renaissance Art • 19th-Century Art • 20th-Century Art Bibliographic entries and a subject index are included, making this the ideal resource for researchers seeking to find valuable analyses that enlighten both these famous works and the cultural traditions from which they have emerged as classics.
