Editorial Reviews Review “Every art and general reference collection will want to include this volume...”–Choice
“Patin and McLerran set out not only to provide a dictionary of sorts but also to guide students through current theory and criticism of visual art and culture. The list of Entries by Topics proves quite helpful, and the cross references are plentiful....any contemporary art collection.”–Library Journal Book Description Defining over 400 terms and phrases that have recently entered discourse on the visual arts, this is the first reference book specializing in explaining and applying theoretical terminology in contemporary art. Since the early 1970s, the vocabulary used to discuss visual art has expanded radically, leaving many teachers, students, artists, and critics without the accurate definitions necessary for fruitful discourse on contemporary culture. This glossary not only serves as a dictionary but as a guide to current theory and criticism of visual art and culture. Terms can be accessed alphabetically or thematically; the significant cross referencing makes this an easy dictionary to use. Artwords
