Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Cynthia Freeland explains why innovation and controversy are valued in the arts, weaving together philosophy, art theory, and many engrossing examples. She discusses blood, beauty, culture, money, sex, web sites, and research on the brain's role in perceiving art. It is up-to-date and future-oriented; devoting a chapter to art on the web, video art, art museum CD-ROMs and various theorists of the new media and of post-modern art. This clear, lively book will engage the public, introductory students, and teachers in the arts.
