Description
"Continuing Presence of the Past, a feature designed to underscore the book's emphasis on continuity and change by connecting an artwork in each chapter to a contemporary artwork, helps students understand how the art of the past remains relevant today. Included only in the digital version of the last edition, the Continuing Presence of the Past is now featured in each chapter on its own page in close proximity to the artwork to which it refers. New additions to the feature include works by Paul Kos, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Carrie Mae Weems, Daniel Buren, Arthur Amiotte, and Roy Lichtenstein"--Provided by publisher.
