The Methodologies of Art: An Introduction

The second updated edition of The Methodologies of Art is a 'must' for any serious arts library, offering a survey of the different ways art is analyzed for meaning and considering formal analysis, iconology, Marxism, feminism and more - all of which lend meaning and perspective to artistic endeavors. This second edition includes nineteen new images, new sections on race and gender, and a new epilogue that analyzes a single painting with different methodological views. Arts students will find this a key survey.

Excellent introduction to the various approaches to writing about art. She discusses Freudian art criticism, feminist art history, semiotics, biography and autobiography, among other topics, in a clear and cogent style.
