Description: "Since the advent of cinema more than a hundred years ago, visual art has tended to be perceived as if it were in motion, and as the century ends, we notice that artists create less often in fresco or carved stone and more on film or tape, on the dance stage, or in the ever changing, ever moving medium of clothes.

In this collection of writing that ranges over art of this and other centuries with unusual depth of historical insight, critic Anne Hollander explores these rich, diverse visual treasures and the underlying themes that connect them."--BOOK JACKET.
