Kalai Kotpaadu

Clear and lively, this book provides an excellent introduction to thinking about art. Cynthia Freeland explains why experiments and problems often make headlines, and why art matters. He discusses art's relationship to beauty, culture, money, sexuality, and new technology, using examples from Rembrandt, Goya, Damian Hust, African fake cult statues made of nails, (American) Indian pueblo dance, and MTV.
