American Artists On Art : From 1940 To 1980
ISBN: 9780064301121 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Rather, the whole history of the changing role of art and artists in a democratic, industrial, and technological society stands behind the spate of artists' words and the public's hunger for them--even some of the general public out there beyond art's little circle. Statements by artists appeal somewhat the way drawings do: they bring us, or at least...
