{"product_id":"pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-ara-merjian-9781526186164","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 1526186160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526186164\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 03\/03\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Ara Merjian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611986051327,"sku":"9781526186164","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3681e42-5c51-4edf-9d31-a1e3012a6a9e.jpg?v=1764517411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-ara-merjian-9781526186164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
