Art & Visual Culture: A Reader

Suitable for students of art history as well as those seeking an understanding of art and of the cultural and historical context in which it is made, this title brings together primary texts by artists, critics and art historians ranging from the medieval period right through to our own times. An essential sourcebook for students and the only reader to cover such an extensive time period, this unprecedented collection of primary texts is organized in three parts, mirroring the three Art & Visual Culture textbooks. Included are extracts from Vasari, Panofsky, Ruskin, and more, on topics from sacred art to landscape design and the birth of modernity.
