This Spotlight features the 9-program series ART OF THE WESTERN WORLD. The programs in this series cover the history of Western art, starting from the great Greek and Roman era, through the Renaissance, the Baroque, and Impressionism, to modern art in our day.

We have linked to many Web sites that relate to the different artists and styles featured in the programs. Some sites focus on a particular style or period, such as the Cubism Gallery. Other sites, such as the Leonardo de Vinci Museum and the Andy Warhol Museum, center around a particular artist. Also included are online versions of exhibits currently mounted at museums, such as "Gauguin and the Pont-Aven" and "Picasso and Portraiture."

We would like to thank Tulane University, Indiana University, California State University at Hayward, and the many other institutions that have helped make this Spotlight an interesting learning experience.
