A general introduction to the book provides a survey of recent debates on the canon of Western art. The source texts and critical writings of the volume are then organised around six art history topics: academies, museums and canons of art; the changing status of the artist; gender and art; the challenge of the avant-garde; views of difference; and contemporary cultures of display. The source texts, each prefaced by a short introduction with information about the author and guidelines for reading the text, include seminal writings by Vasari, Le Brun and Baudelaire, among many others, as well as examples of different kinds of literature on art - a contract, a biography, an academic discourse. And the critical writings for each section of the book offer a variety of perspectives on art and revisions of art history.
This volume accompanies the undergraduate course Art and Its Histories presented by The Open University.
