Description
'Critical Approaches to Ancient Near Eastern Art', edited by Brian A. Brown and Marian H. Feldman, brings together more than thirty scholarly essays examining the visual, material and architectural arts of the ancient Near East, from the fourth millennium BCE through the Hellenistic period. Rather than offering a conventional chronological survey, the contributors approach the subject through themes such as archaeology and politics, artistic production, text and image, social identity, religion, ritual and the creation of space. The essays draw on examples ranging from Mesopotamia and the Levant to Iran and the eastern Mediterranean, while applying contemporary approaches from art history, archaeology and anthropology. Published by De Gruyter, the substantial volume provides a wide-ranging picture of modern approaches to the study of ancient Near Eastern art and its historiography.
