{"product_id":"toward-a-geography-of-art","title":"Toward a Geography of Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eArt history traditionally classifies works of art by country as well as period  but often political borders and cultural boundaries are highly complex and fluid. Questions of identity  policy  and exchange make it difficult to determine the \"place\" of art  and often the art itself results from these conflicts of geography and culture. Addressing an important approach to art history  Thomas DaCosta Kaufmanns book offers essays that focus on the intricacies of accounting for the geographical dimension of art history during the early modern period in Europe  Latin America  and Asia.  Toward a Geography of Art presents a historical overview of these complexities  debates contemporary concerns  and completes its exploration with a diverse collection of case studies. Employing the authors expertise in a variety of fields  the book delves into critical issues such as transculturation of indigenous traditions  mestizaje  the artistic metropolis  artistic diffusion  transfer  circulation  subversion  and center and periphery. What results is a foundational study that establishes the geography of art as a subject and forces us to reconsider assumptions about the place of art that underlie the longstanding narratives of art history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985245270069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226133125","price":53.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226133126.jpg?v=1770853827","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/toward-a-geography-of-art","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
