Overview

Demonstrating how new developments in various materials—oil-based paint, plastics, paint tubes—and technology—paper, photography, welding—have radically changed the way art is produced, this illuminating book draws parallels between those changes and others that have occurred within a wider cultural framework. The study of optics and anatomy, for example, as well as more conceptual concerns, such as chance and ephemerality, are all discussed as ideas that have influenced art throughout its history. Each of the 100 entries in this book explores one of those particular ideas, discussing when it first evolved and how it resurfaces in the work of different artists. Covering art from the Paleolithic Age through ancient civilizations, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and into modern times, this lavishly illustrated book features both historical masterpieces and fascinating contemporary examples.Demostrando cómo nuevos desarrollos en diferentes materiales—óleos, plásticos, tubos de pintura—y tecnologías—el papel, la fotografía, la soldadura—han cambiado radicalmente la manera en la cual se produce el arte, este libro revelador dibuja paralelos entre esos cambios y otros que han ocurrido dentro de un marco cultural más amplio. Por ejemplo, el estudio de la óptica y la anatomía, además de temas más conceptuales tales como el azar y lo efímero, son discutidos como ideas que han influenciado el arte a lo largo de su historia. Cada una de las 100 entradas en este libro explora una de esas ideas particulares, discutiendo cuándo surgió y cómo reaparece en la obra de diferentes artistas. Abarcando el arte desde la época paleolítica y a través de las civilizaciones antiguas, la Edad Media y el Renacimiento hasta llegar a la época moderna, este libro lujosamente ilustrado contiene tanto obras maestras históricas como ejemplos contemporáneos fascinantes.
