{"product_id":"twelve-12-views-of-manets-bar","title":"Twelve (12) Views of Manet's Bar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBradford Collins has assembled here a collection of twelve essays that demonstrates  through the interpretation of a single work of art  the abundance and complexity of methodological approaches now available to art historians. Focusing on Manets A Bar at the Folies-Bergre  each contributor applies to it a different methodology  ranging from the more traditional to the newer  including feminism  Marxism  Lacanian psychoanalysis  and semiotics. By demonstrating the ways that individual practitioners actually apply the various methodological insights that inform their research  Twelve Views of Manets \"Bar\" serves as an excellent introduction to critical methodology as well as a provocative overview for those already familiar with the current discourse of art history. In the process of gaining new insight into Manets work  and into the discourse of methodology  one discovers that it is not only the individual painting but art history itself that is under investigation. An introduction by Richard Shiff sets the background with a brief history of Manet scholarship and suggestions as to why todays accounts have taken certain distinct directions. The contributors  selected to provide a broad and balanced range of methodological approaches  include: Carol Armstrong  Albert Boime  David Carrier  Kermit Champa  Bradford R. Collins  Michael Paul Driskel  Jack Flam  Tag Gronberg  James D. Herbert  John House  Steven Z. Levine  and Griselda Pollock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985800261685,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691036918","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691036915.jpg?v=1770871798","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/twelve-12-views-of-manets-bar","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
