Barasch shows how, once an art work is seen and understood, a new, communicative function is effectively added to the work. In an engaging style Barasch moves from the art and civilization of Ancient Egypt to that of modern Europe, and effortlessly shows a full and surprising range of language in art--from the magical to the impious, from the ambiguous to the didactic, from the scientific to the propagandistic. Barasch contemplates a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, mural, statuary, woodcuts, bas-relief, even music. Over one hundred illustrations are included as an integral part of the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46897558028439,"sku":"9780814712559","price":11467.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814712559.webp?v=1770363208","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-language-of-art-studies-in-interpretation-9780814712559","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
