Kurzbeschreibung
Art Theory, 2nd Edition is a unique survey of Western thought about art from ancient times to today. This lucid and lively narrative consists of six chapters covering the major periods of Western art history: Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the early modern period (Renaissance and Baroque), the Enlightenment, the nineteenth century, early twentieth-century modernism, and postmodernism. This new edition includes more in-depth coverage of contemporary art. Wide-ranging and exceptionally balanced in its analysis, Art Theory relates theory to the practice as well as to the intellectual and cultural-historical currents of each period.
