Oskar B舩schmann explores both written and pictorial evidence of the development of the \"art public\" as an idea and disentangles connections between art production, audiences, and actual reception. Two aspects shape the narrative: the transformation of the audience from passive recipient to active agent as well as satirical jabs at audiences by the likes of Cruikshank, Rowlandson, and Daumier. This sweeping account connects the ancient Greeks with Renaissance painters, modern writers, and contemporary movie stars in a deft survey of the ways we imagine art's immediate impact on audiences and its afterlives in museums, galleries, and the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oskar B舩schmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789146941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789146943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.59w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/22\/2023","brand":"Oskar B舩schmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080365371647,"sku":"9781789146943","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2377874e-9a3b-4b79-86a8-e4b941eac01b.jpg?v=1685486400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-public-oskar-btschmann-9781789146943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
