Now in its second edition, this volume is an accessible
introduction to the history of art. Using an international range of
examples, it provides the reader with a toolkit of concepts, ideas
and methods relevant to understanding art history. This new edition
is fully updated with colour illustrations, increased coverage of
non-western art and extended discussions of contemporary art
theory. It introduces key ideas, issues and debates, exploring
questions such as: What is art and what is meant by art history?
What approaches and methodologies are used to interpret and
evaluate art? How have ideas regarding medium, gender, identity and
difference informed representation? What perspectives can
psychoanalysis, semiotics and social art histories bring to the
study of the discipline? How are the processes of postcolonialism,
decolonisation and globalisation changing approaches to art
history? Complete with helpful subject summaries, a glossary,
suggestions for future reading and guidance on relevant image
archives, this book is an ideal starting point for anyone studying
art history as well as general readers with an interest in the
subject.
