Description

Art and Artist in Society is a compilation of essays that examine the nexus between artists, the art they create and society.

These essays consider how art has changed its form and role both to accommodate newer trends and to fully participate in society.

Divided into six thematic sections, the book examines the works of a diverse group of artists working in a range of art forms, such as writers Milan Kundera and Judith Ortiz Cofer, filmmakers Humberto Solas and Walter Salles, performers/photographer Daniel Joseph Martinez and feminist-activists Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz.

The analyses of the work of these artists and other artists offer readers an opportunity to explore a number of important issues in art today, such as the representation of the Other, the exploration of alternative sources of knowledge and the construction of the self.

For the array of works it analyzes, this book offers fascinating insights into the art and the artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
