An innovatory exploration of art and visual culture.

While focused on painting; sculpture and architecture; it also explores a wide range of visual culture in a variety of media and methods."1600-1850 Academy to Avant-Garde" interrogates labels used in standard histories of the art of this period (Baroque; Rococo; Neo-Classicism and Romanticism) and examines both established and recent art-historical methodologies; including formalism; iconology; spectatorship and reception; identity and difference. Key topics include Baroque Rome; Dutch Painting of the Golden Age; Georgian London; the Paris Salon; and the impact of the discovery of the South Pacific.The second of three text books; published by Tate in association with the Open University; which insight for students of Art History; Art Theory and Humanities.
