From Ice Age caves to virtual galleries on the internet, art has been helping human beings make sense of their world for millenia. Yet while this volume embraces the development of visual art down through the ages, it is from just another universal history of art, an art-historical genre that the author says ôhas long since outlived its dayö. Instead, Lise Bek draws on instances from artÆs vast history to present arguments for one quite specific claim: that the way we understand reality determines how we relate to our visible surroudings. As the seven chapters follow painting and allied media from their use in subservient roles to their unfolding as aesthetic ends in themselves, the emphasis shifts from external factors to the intrinsic problems of art., English, Year2003, Illust. B/W47, Illust. Color71, ISBN 877288860I, Code 5456. Hardbound, In Pristine Condition, Bibl. Index. Pages 572, Size 10öx 7ö.
