{"product_id":"9781789389999","title":"Global Culture after Gombrich : Art, Mind, World by Cao Yiqiang","description":"Ernst Gombrich can be considered the most?influential art historian of the 20th-century. Until?now, however, the global impact of his work has?been under-appreciated. Global Culture after?Gombrich: Art, Mind, World presents essays by?historians of art and culture - themselves students?of Gombrich or associated with his scholarly?home, the Warburg Institute - from Asia, the USA,?and Europe.   Subjects range from picture-making's place in?human evolution to the visual marginalia of the?Renaissance, and from nineteenth-century?modernism to the implications of the latest?neuroscience for cultural history. Other chapters?treat fundamental issues, such as the notion of?connoisseurship, the fate of the idea of `culture', or?the cultural specificity of modernism. They range?from theoretical broadsides - notably, a defence of?the `intelligence' of art - to intricate reflections - for?example on caricature as a style.   In showing how Gombrich initiated enquiries that?have spread in numerous - and global -?directions, Global Culture after Gombrich: Art,?Mind, World makes a vital contribution to?contemporary debates around the languages of art?history and showcases the range of approaches?and methods by which art history is, and has yet to?be, written.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305740349813,"sku":"9781789389999","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789389999.jpg?v=1762798339","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781789389999","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
