Quaytman, and Jasmine Rault. Their contributions from a wide range of disciplines-- from American studies, architecture, and art history to theory, design, and visual art--place Smith's architectural design work in dialogue with contemporary culture, expanding perspectives on the artist's canonical work and offering fresh twenty-first-century insights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eAgainst Reason\u003c\/i\u003e books complicate and pluralize the very idea of the catalogue raisonn? to challenge the monolithic place these forms have in writing art history by providing a more nuanced and historically rich lens through which the Tony Smith archive and his work can be read. In this case, the dual-publication project is an innovative approach to scholarship that situates Smith within contemporary culture, thus making evident his ongoing relevance in the fields of art and design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Voorhies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262551381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262551380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 5.39w x 0.46d","brand":"James Voorhies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838429483263,"sku":"9780262551380","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f263a42b-8bf4-4807-aa6d-301d9072f302.jpg?v=1746589809","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/against-reason-volume-2-james-voorhies-9780262551380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
