{"product_id":"revealing-art","title":"Revealing Art","description":"Why does art matter to us, and what makes it good? Why is the role of imagination so important in art? Illustrated with carefully chosen colour and black-and-white plates of examples from Michaelangelo to Matisse and Poussin to Pollock, Revealing Arttakes us on a compelling and provocative journey\u003cbr\u003eKieran explores some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves about art: how can art inspire us or disgust us? Is artistic judgement simply a matter of taste? Can art be immoral or obscene, and should it be censored? He brings such abstract issues to life with fascinating discussions of individual paintings, photographs and sculptures, such as Michelangelo's Pieta, Andres Serrano's Piss Christand Francis Bacon's powerful paintings of the Pope\u003cbr\u003eHe also suggests some answers to problems that any one in an art gallery or museum is likely to ask themselves: what is a beautiful work of art? and can art really reveal something true about our own nature\u003cbr\u003eRevealing Art is ideal for anyone interested in debates about art today, or who has simply stood in front of a painting and felt baffled.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44519920632046,"sku":"9780415278539","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415278539.jpg?v=1702031044","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/revealing-art","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
