Description
Art & Visual Culture A Reader brings together essential primary texts by artists, critics and art historians from the medieval period to the present day. Spanning over 1,200 years, this comprehensive reader covers an extensive range of topics, including sacred art, Gothic architecture, Renaissance, modernism, abstraction, conceptual art, and globalisation. Organised into three parts, the book explores the development of art and visual culture from Medieval to Renaissance, Patronage to the Public Sphere, and Exploring Art from Modernity to Globalisation. This unique reader is an invaluable resource for students of art history and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical context in which art is made. With contributions from leading academics and published in conjunction with the Open University, this reader provides a rich and diverse selection of primary texts that will be essential reading for anyone interested in art and visual culture.
