SHORT BOOK ABOUT ART (EXPANDED EDITION) (PB)

How is art made? How can we interpret the meaning behind it? And what is the significance of the way in which it is displayed? Using the lens of six themes - looking, materials, mind, devotion, power and sex - in art around the globe, this illuminating journey seeks to answer these questions and more, drawing parallels across different time periods and cultures, from cave paintings to contemporary multi-media works. This expanded edition of Dana Arnold's bestselling survey offers new illustrations and fresh insights.
