{"product_id":"pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-history-and","title":"Pier Paolo Pasolini For Art History And By Merjian, Ara","description":"Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) remains best known for his influential cinematic and literary works.  These attest in turn to a crucial early formation: Pasolini’s intermittent practice as a painter, critic, and historian of art.  Spanning the fifth-century BCE to the early twenty-first century, this volume’s chapters reflect the breadth of Pasolini’s aesthetic commitments and predilections, from Greek Attic vase painting to the to the spread of Caravaggism; from folkloric ethnography to the painting of Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol.  Alongside essays examining his influence on twentieth- and twenty-first century aesthetics, artists of different nationality, gender, and generation address Pasolini’s continued consequence for their own work.  The very notion of a politically engaged artistic practice owes a debt to Pasolini’s oeuvre – one he called “extravagantly interdisciplinary,” and which finds incisive reflection in the media, methods, and subjects addressed in these pages. -- .","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57836787990910,"sku":"NW9781526186164","price":26.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-history-and","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
