What terms do we use to describe and evaluate art, and how do we
judge if art is good, and if it is for the social good? In How Art
Can Be Thought Allan deSouza investigates such questions and the
popular terminology through which art is discussed, valued, and
taught. Adapting art viewing to contemporary demands within a
rapidly changing world, deSouza outlines how art functions as
politicized culture within a global industry. In addition to
offering new pedagogical strategies for MFA programs and the
training of artists, he provides an extensive analytical glossary
of some of the most common terms used to discuss art while focusing
on their current and changing usage. He also shows how these terms
may be crafted to new artistic and social practices, particularly
in what it means to decolonize the places of display and learning.
DeSouza's work will be invaluable to the casual gallery visitor and
the arts professional alike, to all those who regularly look at,
think about, and make art-especially art students and faculty,
artists, art critics, and curators.
