Description
World Art Studies: Exploring Concepts and Approaches challenges traditional Western-centrism in art history by examining visual representation across cultures and time. A diverse range of perspectives is brought together, incorporating approaches from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, anthropology, geography, and conventional art historical methods. This volume uses case studies to demonstrate specific investigation methods, moving beyond abstract models to provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of art.
