Title: Art Visual Culture 1850 2010 Modernity To Globalisation
Description: This is the third of a series of text books, published in association with the Open University, which offer an innovatory exploration of art and visual culture. Through carefully chosen themes and topics rather than through a general survey, the volumes approach the process of looking at works of art in terms of their audiences, functions and cross-cultural contexts. While focused on painting, sculpture and architecture, it also explores a wide range of visual culture in a variety of media and methods. '1850-2010: Modernity to globalisation' includes essays which engage directly with topical issues around art and gender, globalisation, cultural difference and curating, as well as explorations of key canonical artists and movements and of some less well-documented work of contemporary artists. Other volumes: 1100-1600: Medieval to Renaissance; and 1600-1850: Academy to avant-garde.
