Misled by Nature : Contemporary Art and the Baroque Paperback

Paperback

Item not Available

Description

This is a superbly illustrated volume examining recurrence of baroque themes, such as excessive opulence and theatricality, in contemporary art.

Featuring the work of six international artists, this publication examines a recurring facet of contemporary artistic production: material excess, accumulation, bravado, asymmetry, and theatricality.

The impact of such art is decidedly visual and primeval, with artists creating powerfully immersive environments aimed at enticing, challenging and even unsettling viewers.

Three essays discuss ornamentation, hybridity, material sensibilities, transformation and the sublime in contemporary art practice.
