Believing Is Seeing: Creating the Civilization of Art ISBN 13: 9780140168242

ISBN 10: 0140168249

Paperback; New York: Penguin Books, 1995-01-01; ISBN-13: 978-0140168242

Why are the paleolithic Venus of Willendorf, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel frescoes, and Marcel Duchamp's ready-fabricated urinal all considered works of art? Why, strictly speaking, is a Cindy Sherman photograph more "art-like" than a Da Vinci portrait? How did the painters and sculptors of the Renaissance see their creations? And who decides what art is today? In the tradition of Marshall McLuhan and John Berger, this learned and deliciously subversive book gives us a new manner of seeing our creative heritage. Believing Is Seeing is a work of multicultural scope and glittering intelligence that bridges the gulf between classical Japanese painting and the films of Spike Lee, between high theory and pop civilisation. Probing beyond the rhetorical surface of standard fine art histories and drawing on a panoramic array of illustrative material, Mary Anne Staniszewski throws a fresh low-cal on individual works and the oft mystifying criteria by which they are valued.
