Title: Western Art and the Wider World
Description: Globalization in the early 21st century is increasingly reflected in contemporary art. Yet there remains a need for a theoretically informed and historically wide-ranging study of changes in the relationship between the modern Wester artistic canon and those of other forms of art which it has traditionally marginalized. This book explores Western art as it has developed since the Renaissance in terms of an evolving relationship with the art and culture of other societies, including the Islamic world, the Far East, Australasia, Africa, and the Americas.
