From the disillusionment and fragmentation of the post-war era to the rise of globalization and digital technologies, this book investigates the dynamic relationship between art and the world around it.
In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of major art movements, “The Evolving Panorama” also delves into the critical theories and methodologies that have been used to interpret and evaluate art. From formalism and iconography to postmodernism and deconstruction, this book explores the different ways in which art historians, critics, and theorists have sought to understand and make meaning of visual culture.
Written in an accessible and engaging style, “The Evolving Panorama” is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern and contemporary art.
