Further DetailsTitle: How to Understand Art Condition: New Description: The visual arts enrich our lives in many ways: bringing innovative ideas and the pleasures of beauty and emotion, but they can also confound. How To Understand Art sets out to enhance the viewer’s experience by breaking down the elements of art and sculpture to provide a firm basis for simple enjoyment as well as further investigation. With 100 visual examples drawn from across the globe, the stress is on how to assess art objectively – a key skill for any art student, museum visitor or cultural enthusiast. Janetta Rebold Benton guides the reader to re-evaluate their experiences of looking at art by learning to move beyond ‘I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like,’ and shift towards an understanding of ‘why I like it’. Materials and techniques are discussed – drawing, painting, printing, photography, sculpture and decorative art – making it possible to assess what can (and cannot) be done in certain media. The book also features a section devoted to six key artists who have had a particularly notable and innovative influence on the history of art: Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. Perfectly aimed at students and the general reader, this indispensable guide to the subject is well-placed to encourage questions and discussion, especially in the light of current debates surrounding class, ethnicity, gender and race.With 111 illustrations in colour Author: Janetta Rebold Benton EAN: 9780500295830 Format: Paperback Country/Region of Manufacture: GB ISBN: 9780500295830 Publisher: Thames & Hudson Ltd Item Height: 216mm Item Length: 138mm Item Weight: 420g Language: English Genre: Arts & Photography Release Date: 10/07/2021 Series: Art Essentials Release Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
