Bringing together rigorous theory, idiot proof “how to” tutorials, artistic works that illustrate each concept and method might sound a bit too much for a sole book written by only two authors but somehow, it works. Theory, techniques and illustrative works complement each other efficiently.’ - we make money not art

  7. The Fashion History Reader

    The Fashion History Reader is an innovative work that provides a broad introduction to the complex literature in the fields of fashion studies, and dress and fashion history.

  8. Photography: Theoretical Snapshots

    Photography: Theoretical Snapshots offers exciting perspectives on photography theory today from some of the world’s leading critics and theorists. It introduces new means of looking at photographs, and addresses the question of photography history, revisiting the work of some of the most influential theorists such as Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin, and the October group.

  9. The Pictorial Turn

    This seminal collection of essays is the first to be devoted to the pictorial turn. It brings together theorists from across the humanities and social sciences with a paleontologist and practising artists. Together they consider the relation between pictures and images, the power of landscape, the life of images, and the pictorial uncanny amongst many other things.

  10. Contemporary British Art

    The last few decades have been among the most dynamic within recent British cultural history. Artists across all genres and media have developed and re-fashioned their practice against a radically changing social and cultural landscape. Contemporary British Art is an ideal introduction to the field, taking a fresh look at some of the themes, ideas and directions which have informed British art since the later 1980s.
