5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent text required by Academy of Art University course

This review is from: Mixed Blessings: New Art in a Multicultural America (Paperback)
I used this book as part of a Philosophy of Art class that I teach aimed at sophomores and juniors in college. I chose the book because it is full of fabulous images from multicultural artists, and I thought I would be able to use Lippard's analysis to spark theoretical discussion. The prose in the book, however, is so scattered and so lacking in theoretical bite that I found the book far more frustrating than it was useful. If you are looking for a minor primer in some varieties of multicultural art and are mostly interested in the images, then the book would be great. If you want theoretical analysis, logical organization of ideas, clear and sensible themes, then you had better look elsewhere.
