A World Art History and Its Objects

More about the book

Exploring the feasibility of a comprehensive art history that transcends Western perspectives, David Carrier delves into the complexities of multicultural narratives in art. He raises critical questions about the existence of a universal art history and the implications of incorporating diverse cultural traditions. By examining how meanings shift when artworks are viewed across different cultural contexts, Carrier advocates for a temporal narrative approach to better understand and appreciate the richness of global artistic expressions.
