Buchbeschreibung Original softcover. Zustand: Gut. XIV, 394 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Book block visible on pp. 116/117, annotations in text, otherwise good and clean. - Theories of Art offers a thorough-going analysis and reassessment of major trends in European art theory and the development of that theory from the time of Plato to the early eighteenth century. In this elegant presentation Moshe Barasch acknowledges that art theory may have changed in intellectual outlook and artistic aims during the pre-modern period. However, he argues that it nonetheless remained a whole in which different attitudes and traditions were so intricately interwoven that they could not be separated from one another. Barasch shows how (and why) art theory then broke into several disciplines history of art, abstract aesthetics, art criticism in the eighteenth century. He demonstrates that the many-sided concepts of painting and sculpture that crystallized in the Age of Reason have ensured that art must now be studied within conceptual frameworks different from those of the past. Though Theories of Art is a comprehensive book that will be valuable to art historians, from advanced undergraduate to instructor, it will serve as a stimulating and enjoyable introduction to art theory for the general reader as well. - MOSHE BARASCH has taught at Cornell University (Society of the Humanities), the Pennsylvania State University, and New York University, and is currently Jack Cotton Professor of Architecture and Fine Arts at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of numerous books on art. ISBN 0814710611 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 338. Artikel-Nr. 1198824
