Perspectives on Western Art - Source Documents and Readings From the Renaissance to the 1970s

Informationen zum Autor Linnea Wren Klappentext The purpose of this anthology is to unite the study of Western art history with the understanding of Western social and cultural history. Painting, sculpture, architecture, and other forms of the visual arts are, like literary documents, primary sources that reveal the thoughts and abilities of individuals and that record the fundamental concerns of their age and culture. Zusammenfassung Contains documents and readings that provide a social and cultural context for the works of art illustrated in Janson's "History of Art" and De la Croix and Tansey's "Gardner's Art Through the Ages". The selections provide insight into religion, philosophy, literature, science and social history.
