"Exploring Art and Visual Culture: A Reader" brings together
essential primary texts by artists, critics and art historians
ranging from the medieval period right through to our own times.
There is no other reader available that covers such an extensive
period. Selected by leading academics in their field, and published
in conjunction with the Open University, the reader will be an
essential sourcebook for every student of art history as well as
all those seeking a greater understanding of art and of the
cultural and historical context in which it is made. "The Reader"
is organised in three parts. The first section, Medieval to
Renaissance, 1000 - 1600, includes extracts from the writings of
the Venerable Bede, Vasari, Bernard of Clairvaux, Aristotle, Erwin
Panofsky, Nikolaus Pevsner, Erasmus and Walter Pater, among others,
and sections on sacred art, Gothic architecture, the art of the
crusades and the Renaissance. The second part Patronage to the
Public Sphere, 1600 - 1850 includes texts by W.J.T. Mitchell, Sir
Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Crowe, Richard Shiff and Caspar David
Freidrich and examines the city and the country, the golden age of
Dutch painting, London and Paris, landscape design, exploration,
neoclassicism and the birth of Romanticism. The section on
Exploring Art from Modernity to Globalisation, 1850 - 2010 includes
writings by Marinetti, Gauguin, John Ruskin, William Morris, John
Berger, Clement Greenberg, Lucy Lippard and Miwon Kwon examining
modernism, the rise of abstraction, conceptual art and
globalisation.
