Can fine art survive in an age of mass media? If so, in what forms
and to what purpose? And can radical art still play a critical role
in today's divided world? These are the challenging questions
addressed in this thoroughly revised, updated and expanded edition
of Art in the Age of Mass Media, as John Walker examines the
fascinating relationship between art and mass media, and the myriad
interactions between high and low culture in a postmodern,
culturally pluralistic world. Using a range of historic and
contemporary works of art to illustrate theoretical points, Walker
explores the variety of ways in which modern artists have responded
to the arrival of new, mass media. He ranges from the socialist
paintings of Courbet to the anti-Nazi photomontages of Heartfield,
from community murals and Keith Haring's use of graffiti to the
kitsch self-promotion associated with Jeff Koons. The new edition
describes what happened during the 1990s, including Toscani's
adverts for Benetton, the simulations of Leeds 13, art and cinema,
Damien Hirst, and the cyberart currently being produced for the
internet. Art in the Age of Mass Media is an invaluable
introduction to the continuing debates between high art and low
culture for students of media and cultural studies and art history.
