?An energetic, illuminating and wonderful book? ? Edmund de Waal

"Brilliantly insightful. A fresh take on art history as we know it." ? Katy Hessel, host of The Great Women Artists Podcast

?Charlotte Mullins' 'A Little History of Art' is a wonderfully refreshing, inclusive and readable romp through global art history. At once erudite and accessible, I can't recommend it enough ? I wish it had been available when I was an art student!? ? Jennifer Higgie, author of The Mirror and the Palette

?Charlotte Mullins tells the story of art with a wonderfully vivid style, taking the reader on an exhilarating time-travelling journey, covering thousands of years and hundreds of artworks.? ? Will Gompertz, author of What Are You Looking At?

?A remarkable achievement. Charlotte Mullins tells a story of human creativity that takes us around the world and across vast panoramas of time. She introduces each of her chosen topics with lucid prose, guiding us deftly through changing artistic landscapes and bringing us face to face with artists as they work: we step with her into prehistoric French caves, Florentine squares and New York lofts. A Little History of Art will not only be an inspiring introduction to young readers ? its pages contain much to intrigue and entertain anyone interested in human culture.? ? Susan Owens, author of Spirit of Place

Charlotte Mullins is an art critic, writer, and broadcaster. A former editor of ArtReview, V&A Magazine, and Art Quarterly, she has published more than a dozen books on visual art.
