Excerpts

Getting Started WhyArt Past/Art Present? Art Past/Art Presentis based on the idea that works of art communicate to us across time and history. Works of art engage us on a visual level, but further study reveals how they can remind us of the diversity and communality of human experience. To understand the visual language of art and be receptive to its communication, however, requires active participation. How can we begin to establish a dialogue between ourselves and works of art? How can we achieve an understanding of past and present art from other societies? And, in an age teeming with information, how do we move from information to knowledge and understanding?Art Past/Art Presenthas been designed to help us begin to answer these questions. The book opens with a chapter called "Experiencing Art" (pp. 1-7) that will help establish the language and techniques useful for analyzing art and for understanding art and artists within a historical context. What is the basic approach ofArt Past/Art Present? In creatingArt Past/Art Present,we accepted the underlying assumptions that art results from the human experience of life and that art is itself fundamentally expressive. We wanted to offer the reader a clear, concise, and integrated treatment of a limited number of works from around the world. Why is history so important in understanding works of art? InArt Past/Art Present,the works are discussed within a historical framework to emphasize the circumstances under which they were created and to encourage us to question how they might originally have been viewed and how they may have functioned; such an approach is known ascontextualism.We urge the study of art in concert with history, politics, religion, geography, society, and culture in general, including music, dance, and literature, in order to more fully understand the scope and diversity of human history. Chapters 2 through 10 ofArt Past/Art Presenteach open with an overview of developments in history and art for each time period: prehistoric, ancient, 200 to 1400, fifteenth century, sixteenth century, seventeenth century, eighteenth century, nineteenth century, and the first half of the twentieth century. The second half of the twentieth century (Chapter 11) is treated differently, in decades, and Chapter 12 is dedicated to the new art of the twenty-first century. A section at the end of each overview discusses the role and status of artists during this period; when possible, self-portraits of artists are illustrated in this section. Following the overviews for each period, there are two-, four, six-, and eight-page units that start with a key work. These key works establish a chronology forArt Past/Art Present. Why such a distinct chronological approach? If you thumb throughArt Past/Art Presentlooking at the top of the right page of each unit, you'll see a series of timelines with dates that are chronological in sequence. In our minds there is historical truth in this chronology, for it means that the works and related events are presented roughly as they happened; such a chronology reminds us that Donatello, Ghiberti, and Van Eyck (pp. 239-55), for example, were all working at about the same time, or that the rock-cut Hindu temple at Ellora (pp. 172-73) was being carved at the same time that the Muslims were erecting the huge mosque in Cordoba (pp. 17477). Such an interweaving of works offers insights into contemporary developments around the globe. At the same time, the organization ofArt Past/Art Presentin units means that the teacher or reader can focus on each unit independently. What is the point of the timelines like the one seen at the top of this page? These timelines list historical events and cultural developments from the period in order to build context for the works of art being discussed. While there is no dir
