Stories of Art

by James Elkins ...

Stories of Art is James Elkins's intimate history of art. Concise and original, this engaging book is an antidote to the behemoth art history textbooks from which we were all taught. As he demonstrates so persuasively, there can never be one story of art. Cultures have their own stories - about themselves, about other cultures - and to hear them all is one way to hear the multiple stories that art ... Read more

The Avant Garde

A Very Short Introduction

If not, then by and large they have not, and ... Read more
