Book Description:

Art and the Committed Eye is what happens when conventional visual art appreciation intersects with a first-rate cultural studies mind. The discussions in this book exchange conventional, historical treatments for the more enlightened discussions of politics, culture, context, and individuality and take John Berger’s classic Ways of Seeing to a level relevant to today’s art students and critics.
