Earlier this year, British publisher Laurence King brought us 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design, 100 Ideas That Changed Film, and 100 Ideas That Changed Architecture.

Syracuse University fine art professor Mary Warner Marien writes in the introduction: Images and captions courtesy of Laurence King
