Momentan nu sunt oferte disponibile.

Writing About Art was written as the text for a course of the same name required of all art majors at The City College of New York. The book explains the different approaches college students encounter in undergraduate art history classes. Each chapter outlines the characteristics of one type of visual or historical analysis and briefly explains its history and development. Passages by well-known art historians provide examples of each method. Sample essays by students are accompanied by extensive explanations of suggested revisions. The book also includes a step-by-step guide to researching art historical topics and a section about correctly citing sources. About the Author Professor Marjorie Munsterberg received her Ph.D. from Columbia University, where she wrote her dissertation on the British landscape painter J.M.W. Turner.

She currently is writing a monograph about the development of art criticism in Britain during the late 18th and the early 19th centuries.
