Cross-Cultural Issues in Art provides an engaging introduction to
aesthetic concepts, expanding the discussion beyond the usual
Western theorists and Western examples. Steven Leuthold discusses
both contemporary and historical issues and examples, incorporating
a range of detailed case studies from African, Asian, European,
Latin American, Middle Eastern and Native American art. Individual
chapters address broad intercultural issues in art, including Art
and Culture, Primitivism and Otherness, Colonialism, Nationalism,
Art and Religion, Symbolism and Interpretation, Style and
Ethnicity, A Sense of Place, Art and Social Order, Gender, and the
Self, considering these themes as constructs that frame our
understanding of art. Cross-Cultural Issues in Art draws upon ideas
and case studies from cultural and critical studies, art history,
ethno-aesthetics and area studies, visual anthropology, and
philosophy, and will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate
courses in these fields.
