Work and the Image: Work, Craft and Labour : Visual Representations in Changing Histories - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The first of two volumes in which American and British art historians explore visual images of work from Greek pottery to contemporary performance and range through perspectives from France, Britain, Hungary, Soviet Russia, the Ukraine, Siberia, and Germany. Editors Mainz (art history and Jewish studies, U. of Leeds) and Pollock (social and cultural histories of art, U. of Leeds) present interdisciplinary case studies that trace the changing definitions of work as labor, as craft, as social relations, and as a source of historical identity and analyze the role of visual representation in that formation and transformation.
