{"product_id":"how-art-can-be-thought-allan-desouza-9781478000471","title":"How Art Can Be Thought: A Handbook for Change","description":"What terms do we use to describe and evaluate art, and how do we judge if art is good, and if it is for the social good? In \u003ci\u003eHow Art Can Be Thought\u003c\/i\u003e Allan deSouza investigates such questions and the popular terminology through which art is discussed, valued, and taught. Adapting art viewing to contemporary demands within a rapidly changing world, deSouza outlines how art functions as politicized culture within a global industry. In addition to offering new pedagogical strategies for MFA programs and the training of artists, he provides an extensive analytical glossary of some of the most common terms used to discuss art while focusing on their current and changing usage. He also shows how these terms may be crafted to new artistic and social practices, particularly in what it means to decolonize the places of display and learning. DeSouza's work will be invaluable to the casual gallery visitor and the arts professional alike, to all those who regularly look at, think about, and make art--especially art students and faculty, artists, art critics, and curators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Desouza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478000473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478000471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Desouza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051891060991,"sku":"9781478000471","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6dc611d3-0737-4817-9a80-174295ca962b.jpg?v=1685015788","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-art-can-be-thought-allan-desouza-9781478000471","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
