A stunning exploration of five universal human passions — Love, Knowledge, Justice, Faith, and Power — through masterpieces from across world art. Published for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and published by Harry N. Abrams, this richly illustrated volume features works spanning centuries and cultures in a beautifully designed hardcover edition. Essays by distinguished art historians; lavishly produced. High quality text and colour plates. Condition is good but there are tears to the front and rear endpapers near the inner gutter (see images 5 and 6); but binding and book integrity remains firm. Light wear and crease on dust jacket (see image 1). Pages clean and unmarked throughout. Offered as a solid reading copy of an otherwise elegant art publication.
