Learning to Look at Modern Art
This companion text to the author's Learning to Look at Paintings addresses some of the questions most commonly asked about modern art, covering key movements of the modern and postmodern periods in a richly illustrated and engaging volume.
Learning to Look at Paintings
Mary Acton shows how you can learn to look at and understand an image by analysing how it works, what its pictorial elements are and how they relate to each other. She describes the ingredients of composition, space, form, tone and colour which make up a picture, and discusses the importance of subject matter and the original function and setting of a picture in appreciating its visual meanings.
Learning to Look at Sculpture
Learning to Look at Sculpture introduces students to different types of sculpture from all periods of Western art, from Classical times to the present day. It considers the relationship between painting and sculpture, but also the interesting relationships between sculpture, other arts and its surrounding context, including architecture, design, and issues around commemoration and public space. In her highly accessible style, Acton demonstrates to those new to the field that learning to look at sculpture in a more focussed and analytical way can lead to greater understanding of sculpture of the past and the present, and of the cultures from which it comes. This book is intended as a companion volume to Learning to look at Paintings and Learning to look at Modern Art by the same author.
