| Description: | Since it was first published in 1992, this book has become one of the leading anthologies of art theoretical texts in the English-speaking world. This expanded edition includes the fruits of recent research, involving a considerable amount of newly-translated material from the entire period, together with additional texts from the last decades of the twentieth century. |
I thought that this book was very different from most art history texts, a very good representation of the time period it covers. The range of sources of the excerpts is incredible.
some great essays in here. loved the class i read it in.
Should be on your bookshelf.
Tons of information and much more enjoyable to read than those boring text books
I loved the different essays from the artists. I periodically go and read articles for fun
Some artists are better at written communication than others. In reading books of artist essays, they sometimes contradict themselves. But it is valuable information.
Intellectually stimulating book for professional artists, collectors, and art lovers. this is a bible of best ideas in art theory.
