Industry Reviews
"Right now when art historians (rightly!) are much concerned with theory, and interested in rethinking the foundations of their discipline, I am aware of no more useful, better-natured introduction to these pressing concerns than this volume. Introducing formalism, iconography, Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis, and structuralism and post-structuralism in ways suited to the student, in an account which is accessible to the general reader, Laurie Schneider Adams' effortlessly erudite, determinedly generous book will be of interest also to scholars, who will find her well-balanced exposition deserving of serious attention. A fair-minded, lucid exposition without needless jargon, illustrated with vivid examples, this highly original, unassumingly ambitious book provides a necessary starting point for what will, inevitably, be much productive ongoing debate."
Carrier
"Because works of art can be interpreted in a variety of ways, this book surveys 'methodologies,' diverse approaches to artistic analysis used by art historians, philosophers, and critics....A good choice for introductory college art history courses."
Leventhal
