Publisher Synopsis
a potent book ... This brilliantly argued volume should be read by all art historians The Art Book Illuminating and timely ... Eisenman's concepts and questions constitute a challenging discourse on politics and art. Art in America An unflinching analysis that will long endure as will our stark memories of the horrors unleashed by the administration of George W. Bush. -- Professor David Craven, author of Art and Revolution in Latin America, 1910 1990 Stephen Eisenman's provocative discussion of the omnipresence of the imagery of aggression, domination, and subjugation in Western art is as disturbing as it is timely. Coming as it does in the wake of the exposure of American torture of detainees, it reminds us that what we call "culture" is as marked by the evidence of cruelty and brutality as is the history of warfare itself. His book is an exemplary demonstration of the inseparability of the aesthetic and the political. -- Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Professor of Art History, University of California Santa Barbara Read more...
