Description
Partisan Canons challenges traditional notions of an authoritative art canon. This collection presents provocative case studies that demonstrate how canons are formed, function, and change over time.
The contributors explore the diverse factors that affect the production of art canons, including market forces, aesthetic and political positions, nationalism, perceptions of gender and race, and artists' efforts to negotiate their status within professional environments. By examining various moments from the seventeenth century to the present, this book sheds light on the complex dynamics of art history as an academic discipline and discourse.
Through its diverse case studies, Partisan Canons highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of canons and their role in shaping our cultural landscape. This collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complexities of art historical scholarship and the ways in which canons are constructed and maintained.
