Critical Terms For Art History

  • Critical Terms For Art History

  • Attribution

    edited by Robert S. Nelson and Richard Shiff

  • Publication Details

    Book, 2nd ed, University of Chicago Press, 2003

  • Description

    But questions about the categories of “art” and “art history” acquired increased urgency during the 1970s, when new developments in critical theory and other intellectual projects dramatically transformed the discipline. Like its predecessor, this new edition consists of essays that cover a wide variety of “loaded” terms in the history of art, from sign to meaning, ritual to commodity. Each essay explains and comments on a single term, discussing the issues the term raises and putting the term into practice as an interpretive framework for a specific work of art.
