The Art of Art History : Preziosi, Donald: desertcart.in: Books Review: A classic. Although since made available in a second, revised edition, the first 1998 edition has lost none of its urgence. Also particularly useful to have on hand in the Kindle edition. Review: An outstanding book beautifully produced.

one of my favorite books. Full of excerpts from some of the best thinkers.

Hard going but very useful for academic art history work. Preziosi's introductions make the texts more comprehensible and put them in context. Would be useful to bring out an e-book of this edition.

This is a book for anyone interested in reading excerpts from original texts (by Helgel, Kant, Derrida etc.) about specific problems encountered in the field of Art History since, approximately, the creation of the modern concept of Art. It is divided into chapters about specific themes, with a short introduction, and bibliography. I would recommend Preziosis own book "Rethinking Art History" as a companion. This is not an easy book, as some angry reviewers discovered, but - how could it be? Art is about life, and life is a very complex thing. If you have absolutely no experience with philosophy or theory, then this might not be the right place to start. If, however, Art and Art History is something you are interested in, and have some basic knowledge of, this is a very rewarding book.
