The rules of composition have changed. Discover the new ideas that
shape the art we make today. Art has changed beyond recognition
since the principles of harmonious composition were established in
classical times. From the invention of photography to the digital
revolution, technological and social advances have transformed the
way we see the world. This new vision, influenced by changing
attitudes not least towards gender roles and the West's colonial
history, is reflected in the art we make. From the rejection of
Western compositional orthodoxy by artists such as Édouard Manet,
Vincent van Gogh and Mary Cassatt to the revolutionary practices of
Jean- Michel Basquiat, Tania Bruguera, Meleko Mokgosi and many
others, acclaimed art critic and writer Michael Archer reveals the
ideas and intentions behind a thrillingly diverse selection of
artworks, giving readers a new set of tools for understanding art
today.
