Does the history of art as such even exist outside the Western tradition? Is it possible to consider the history of art in a way that is not fundamentally Eurocentric? In this highly readable and provocative book, David Carrier, a philosopher and art historian, does not attempt to write a world art history himself. Rather, he asks the question of how an art history of all cultures could be written--or whether it is even possible to do so. He also engages the political and moral issues raised by the idea of a multicultural art history. Focusing on a consideration of intersecting artistic traditions, Carrier negotiates the way meaning and understanding shift or are altered when a visual object from one culture, for example, is inserted into the visual tradition of another culture. \u003ci\u003eA World Art History and Its Objects \u003c\/i\u003eproposes the use of temporal narrative as a way to begin to understand a multicultural art history. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penn State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46889578004631,"sku":"9780271034157","price":4164.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780271034157.webp?v=1770265592","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-world-art-history-and-its-objects-9780271034157","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
