{"product_id":"forms-of-enchantment-writings-on-art-and-artists","title":"Forms of Enchantment: Writings on Art and Artists","description":"An anthology of enlightening writing by an award-winning critic that engages with art in its social, political, and aesthetic contexts.\nArt writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity, and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues author Marina Warner in this new anthology. Here, some of Warner’s most compelling writing captures the visual experience of the work of a diverse group of artists―with a notable focus on the inner lives of women―through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude in their work. Warner vividly describes this imagery, covering the connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, the Catholicism of Damien Hirst, performance as a medium of memory in the installations of Joan Jonas, and more.\n\nRather than drawing on connoisseurship, Warner’s approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. Accompanied by illustrations of the works being described, Marina Warner’s writing unites the imagination of artist, writer, and reader, creating a reading experience that parallels the intrinsic pleasure of looking at art. This book will appeal to any student of art history, those interested in philosophy, feminism, and more generally in the humanities.\n40 illustrations in color\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0500021465\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0500021465.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Warner, Marina\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
