第一部分进一步阅读书目（第2/3页）

辉煌巨著,Henri Zimmer and Joseph Campell,The Art of India Asia, 2nd ed., 2 vols. （New York, 1955）是最好的论述印度文化传播到东南亚的著作。Ludwig Bachhofer, A Short History of Chinese Art（London, 1947）对早期中国青铜器进行了工艺的、令人信服的文本分析。更令人印象深刻的文本分析著作是Henri Frankfort, Cylinder Seals（London, 1931）,他利用来自古代美索不达米亚大量被保存下来的一种物质，把艺术主旨的变化与古代社会的社会和政治秩序的变化联系起来。难以想象还有其他著作比它更生动地阐述了艺术史与社会发展之间的整体关系。

遗憾的是，插图丰富的艺术书籍必然价格昂贵，这限制了它们的利用。“大学印刷厂”（University Prints）提供了一种差强人意的简装替代选择，该机构以适中的价格销售各种艺术门类的单幅照片。如果教师想让一个班级的全体学生得到一张同样的图片以便能够学习和讨论，那么“大学印刷厂”就是一个灵活的和随时可以得到的源泉。它的地址是15 Brattle Street, Cambridge, Mass., 02138。
