{"product_id":"pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-ara-merjian-9781526186140","title":"Pier Paolo Pasolini for Art History and Practice: Aesthetics and Politics","description":"Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) remains best known for his influential cinematic and literary works. These attest in turn to a crucial early formation: Pasolini's intermittent practice as a painter, critic, and historian of art. Spanning the fifth-century BCE to the early twenty-first century, this volume's chapters reflect the breadth of Pasolini's aesthetic commitments and predilections, from Greek Attic vase painting to the to the spread of Caravaggism; from folkloric ethnography to the painting of Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. Alongside essays examining his influence on twentieth- and twenty-first century aesthetics, artists of different nationality, gender, and generation address Pasolini's continued consequence for their own work. The very notion of a politically engaged artistic practice owes a debt to Pasolini's oeuvre - one he called \"extravagantly interdisciplinary,\" and which finds incisive reflection in the media, methods, and subjects addressed in these pages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ara Merjian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526186144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526186140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ara Merjian","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47201136738559,"sku":"9781526186140","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae9c6294-537c-42db-8a1c-c1e86d61bfa7.jpg?v=1756788985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-ara-merjian-9781526186140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
