A collection of paied essays, written by some of the most noted scholars in their fields, this volume represents an instructive sample of approaches to the history of world art of all periods, covering ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, preconquest Mexico and Peru, Islam, China, Japan, Renaissance and baroque Italy, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France, and the United States in the twentieth century and today. The book is structured as a series of dialogues, each focusing on an issue, a period, or a crux of scholarship. As a common thread, they propose new readings of works in cultural context and challenge traditional concepts and classifications, suggesting both the coherence and the complexity of art history in the twenty-first century.
