Description
Contemporary art is a vast and complex field representing artists, ideas, and trends from every imaginable cultural and geographical background.
This book introduces the art of our times by taking the reader through a tour of some seventy examples from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Thematic chapters present artistic categories, concepts, and propositions that have been prevalent since the mid-1950s and offer a path toward understanding the different subjects, forms, styles, purposes, and techniques of contemporary art.
Some, such as `portrait’, are long-standing notions in the history of art; others, such as `site’ or `borrowed’, raise provocative questions and may be less immediately obvious.
But it is the works of art themselves – brilliantly conceived by some of the most creative minds of our times – that make the case for embracing contemporary media in all its diversity.
