Description

Western Art and the Wider World explores the complex relationships between Western art and the diverse cultures of the Islamic world, Far East, Australasia, Africa, and the Americas. This book charts connections between areas of study in art that were once considered separate.

The author examines how the Renaissance encounter with the Ottoman Empire, Japanese art's influence on 19th-century French avant-garde, and African art's impact on early modernism have shaped our understanding of 'world art'.

Written by a renowned art historian, this book makes a compelling case for considering art from different cultures as part of a broader global artistic heritage.
