1,000 Masterpieces
Whether you're an art history buff or just looking to inspire some original finger-paintings, you won't want to miss flipping through 30,000 Years of Art. Editors at Phaidon Press have been hard at work on the giant digest for
the past five years, and their labor shows in the gorgeous oversized pages, which feature everything from ancient caveman scribblings to the most modern of masterpieces. The comprehensive 13-pound tome takes you on a historical journey through art all over the world, from contemporary works to some dating all the way back to 28,000 BC. It's written in a way that's as accessible as it is informative—and no matter how many years you hang onto it, you'll find something new every time it's opened.
