Description
Look Close, Think Far: Art at the Ackland
This richly illustrated volume showcases nearly 300 outstanding works from the Ackland Art Museum's collection, with accompanying commentaries. The museum, founded in 1958, is one of the most distinguished public university art museums in the United States, housing over twenty thousand works of art spanning five thousand years of culture.
The book presents a cross-section of the diverse collection, with works from different cultures presented in a largely chronological sequence. Editor Peter Nisbet's arrangement emphasizes the unity of the collection by merging works from various curatorial departments, encouraging visual attention and reflective thinking.
