Designed as a supplementary text, this brief, inexpensive book explores the purposes of contemporary art and the complex interactions between art, artist, and viewer. Active Sights looks especially at how artist and viewer belief systems and the social functions of art affect the ways in which contemporary art is seen. The text includes 31 full-page illustrations of contemporary art, including many pieces created as recently as five years ago.

This review is from: Active Sights: Art as Social Interaction (Paperback)
I used this book as a text while I taught at Notre Dame. It is a very good book which clearly and simply provides ways to access understand and critique student own art or art that they see.It is well written and a good tool for anyone to gain understanding and meaning of the artist, the process of making art and its function in our society. I will be using it at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.

This review is from: Active Sights: Art as Social Interaction (Paperback)
I'd love to review this book, however, it was ordered through Amazon on Feb 13, 2006 and as of this date, March 16, 2006, I have yet to receive it. What's the problem Amazon?
