Description

The New Art History: A Critical Introduction by Jonathan P. Harris provides a comprehensive overview of the significant changes in art history over the last thirty years. This book explores the new approaches to studying art, distinguishing them from earlier forms of radical or critical analysis. Harris examines the influence of various disciplines and traditions on art history, tracing the development and interaction of Marxist, feminist, and psychoanalytic critical theories. The book is structured around key texts by major contemporary critics, each chapter discussing a pivotal moment in the discipline of art history. Through its examination of these key moments, this book offers insight into how art historical ideas and values have been shaped by social change.
