The traditional discipline of art history has been expanded and challenged by new insights and alternative perspectives, resulting in a series of wide-ranging debates on the status of art and its role in culture and history. This reader for the Open University's course, 'Modern Art: Practices and Debates', presents a radical selection of key texts. These include classic works from the 1930s to the 1960s alongside contemporary writings, introducing the reader to the whole range of issues on which critics and art historians have focused.

5.0 out of 5 stars
an illuminating collection of essays,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art in Modern Culture (Open University Set Book) (Paperback)
Pungent and profoundly moving, the introductory sequences to these seminal essays establish new levels of critical consciousness in that melancholy discipline known as art history. Frascina and Harris, two of our most exalted and distinguished cultural historians, provide a comprehensive survey of the culture-politics interface in C20th society. Consistently devastating and endlessly locked into the real critical issues, this is essential reading for all students of modern visual culture.

Good Resource,
By Kinsey (Asheville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art in Modern Culture (Open University Set Book) (Paperback)
This book is a good resource for source materials on Modern Art. Usually anthologies give me the willies, but this one is quite comprehensive. I prefer to get my material directly from the source. This gives someone who is unfamiliar with art history a jumping off point for the more serious criticism about this time period in art.
