An up-to-date and comprehensive guide to 150 of the most significant styles and movements that have shaped art history through time. All art is of its time, and this book is the first survey that explicitly embeds styles, schools and movements within the politics and culture in which they arose, by means of timelines, textual references and the unique present-to-past arrangement of the book.
An essential guide to art styles and movements and a history of world art from the present day to Greek antiquity, this book places the reader in the art historian's seat, offering an opportunity to work backwards from our own time and reconnect the dots, or even find new dots to connect. It revives art history, for both the specialist and the general reader coming to the subject with limited knowledge – it shows graphically that art history is a living thing, not dead.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. 367pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine/As New condition. "Art styles and movements are created or identified in many different ways. Some are fashioned by artists themselves, groups of like-minded men and women who share a similar way of thinking or looking. Others are created in retrospect, by historians who seek to understand art based on shared techniques or themes. Yet others are born of political causes or in reaction to social or cultural circumstances--an attempt to alter history, or reinforce the status quo, or reject both history and status quo altogether in a determination to start again. [] ART IN TIME introduces some 150 of the most important and influential styles, schools and movements, spanning not just the Western tradition but also styles from India, China, Japan, Latin America and Africa. Beginning with the present day and moving back in time, the reader is encouraged to discover the ways art plays with, and builds on, earlier ideas, beliefs and traditions. Each style or movement is examined in the context of the times in which it arose--for art history is cultural history, and all art is culturally specific. Nevertheless, the intersections between the political, religious, economic and social timelines of disparate cultures and different practices show that art is not created in a vacuum, either chronological or geographical. [] ART IN TIME is for 'all those who feel in need of some orientation in a strange and fascinating field,' and an invitation to see art anew. Because art, and artists, are ever-changing, informed by their time and their predecessors, adapting and reshaping the way we see and interpret the world." [jacket copy] "Beautifully produced. . . An absorbing and enlightening gallop through art. The careful balance of digestible chunks of information with beautiful images makes this equally rewarding as a dip-into coffeetable book or a cover to cover read."--Royal Academy of Arts Magazine. Pristine hardcover is massive w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, (very slight beump on bottom front board), wrapped in a bright-as-new jacket covered in archival mylar. Big book will likely require additional postage to reach you safely. Quite presentable. N° de réf. du vendeur RUB3328
