Giulio Carlo Argan Book order
May 17, 1909 – November 12, 1992
Giulio Carlo Argan was an Italian art historian and politician whose work explored the evolution of art with a profound understanding of its historical and social context. His analyses focused on comprehending art not merely as an aesthetic object, but as a reflection of the ideas and societal shifts of its time. Through his extensive publications and academic career, he shaped the critical understanding of visual culture and its place in history. Argan's scholarship continues to inspire researchers and art students to delve deeper into the relationship between artistic creation and society.

L’arte moderna parte dalla rivoluzione industriale e la conseguente nascita dei mezzi di riproduzione meccanica dell’immagine che connotano l’arte contemporanea. Il metodo arganiano alla base di questa celebre opera, che è da trent'anni punto di riferimento essenziale per studiosi, studenti ed appassionati d'arte, si basa sull’analisi del prodotto artistico come un fenomeno derivante dalla storia politica, economica, scientifica. Così descrive e discute i grandi temi della storia del "pensiero visivo". Preziose schede illustrano i processi con cui gli artisti hanno contribuito con la loro autonoma ricerca alla costruzione della cultura.
