## Description

desertcart.com: Art in Theory 1900 - 2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas: 9780631227083: Harrison, Charles, Wood, Paul: Books

Review: One to read on a deserted island - This book is expensive but ends up repaying you back tremendously in the long run. Excellent paper material quality and typesetting very attractive. This is one book to carry on a deserted island. This is an anthology to treasure because it puts together extremely rare essays on art nowhere else in the current lexicon. Where else will you find essays by Trotsky on art criticism in politics? What about Max Weber's analysis of art? These by well known and not so well known authors makes for long reading sessions. The essays are grouped by thematic content and given well rounded introductions by the editors of the volume. A word of warning to the readers: do not take what is put in the volume at face value...which is a big temptation. The only way to really learn from this book is to challenge the authors and decide for yourself the merits of the analysis. Art theory is intellectually dense but extremely dangerous to accept without serious study. This book is a reference on art theory like no other in the world. So please do yourselves a favor and get this book before it's taken out of print. And when this book goes out of print thanks to the ipad and ebook craze putting book publishers out of business...you'll be very sorry you didn't get it when you could.
Review: Wonderful intros to each section by the editors and a ... - A treasure trove of wisdom and insight regarding modern and postmodern art. Dense. Wonderful intros to each section by the editors and a vital collection of writings by artists and about their work. A must for any art student or, I imagine, collector or gallerist. Info you either need to know or need to have access to at your fingertips. Worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A book of diverse opinions
*by C***T on March 2, 2008*

The subtitle to this book is "An Anthology of Changing Ideas", which is remarkably accurate. The excerpts in this book run the ideological spectrum from Winston Churchill to Adolf Hitler, and everyone in-between. The assembly of so many artists, politicians, philosophers, and theorists in one place has had a profound impact on my understanding of particular artworks, and my relationship to art in general. It's an intimidating book, but somehow this diverse group of thinkers is organized in a way that could be read straight through. Personally, I find it to be an invaluable tool for research and artistic growth.
