Books Art History & Theory

Category: Art History & Art Theory books

In this category of Alexanders Art Books, you will find books that deal with art history, in addition to books that explain different theories about visual art. Those theories are quite diverse and tell, for example, why art is made under the influence of cultural conditions, or what the deeper thoughts behind certain works of art are. Authors in these books question the message or meaning of art. There are also art theory books in which authors try to explain art from a particular philosophical, political or ideological point of view. For example, a book that discusses art history from a Feminist point of view.

Within the Art History & Art Theory category, there are also books that focus on a specific form of art, such as a book on the history of architecture, design, installation art, painting, photography or video art. Sometimes the subject of such books is limited by a geographical boundary or time period. Such as the architecture of Western Europe after 1900. Other books tell the history of art in a particular style period. Such as the history of the Renaissance or the history of modern art. There are books that tell the history of certain artists' associations or art movements, such as a book on abstract expressionism, art nouveau, Die Brücke, impressionism, minimal art or surrealism. Finally, there are books in this category that cover a particular subject, such as beauty, the nude or cats in art.

There is plenty to study!
