Through in-depth discussions of her own lived encounters with art, architecture, and the world around her, she advocates a way of looking that blends sensory perception, formal analysis, social and political consciousness, and personal memory. Focusing special attention on the aesthetic concept of the figure-ground problem, the author challenges this foundational principle's presumed hierarchies and shows how a new and more dynamic understanding of it can enhance our way of looking at and understanding art and architecture. Works discussed in the book include a wide range of contemporary and historic art and architecture, among them artworks by Rembrandt, Matisse, Eva Hesse, and David Hammons; architecture by Zaha Hadid, Peter Zumthor, and Weiss\/Manfredi; and non-Western works such as a thirteenth-century Chinese vase and the Ryōanji dry garden in Kyoto, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonal and engaging, this book is for a wide audience of those practicing, studying, or with an interest in the creative fields, from beginners to seasoned professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616281739415,"sku":"9780367441074","price":13345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367441074.webp?v=1775112302","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/experiencing-art-and-architecture-lessons-on-looking-9780367441074","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
