Description
This is the third of three textbooks, 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.
Art & Visual Culture 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.

Another London
In the years between 1930 and 1980, some of the best-known photographers from around the world came to London and made its streets, buildings, and communities their subject. For some, the British capital was to become home; for others, it remained a foreign city, as enigmatic perhaps as any they had visited. Each photographer brought their own distinctive perspective, subverting...Hardback$4395Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
The London Art Schools
Since 1960, progressive forces within art education have stoked, and continued to fire, new impulses in the field of artistic production. As society at large embraced youth and popular culture, art school students with international aspirations exploded class barriers, fused fashion with Pop and insisted that art was integral to social change. These possibilities were unthinkable without shifts in priorities....Paperback$6000Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
