Essays in Art and Culture is designed as a venue for today's most exciting and stylish writing on the subject of visual culture. Each book takes the form of an incisive – and often controversial – essay, exploring either a broad theme, or the work of an individual artist, in a fresh and authoritative fashion. The series is deliberately interdisciplinary, drawing on and bringing together art history, literary criticism and cultural studies in an innovative and accessible way. Stunningly produced and illustrated, Essays in Art and Culture offers a unique juncture between the aesthetic and the intellectual.
