Summary:
This is an
ART
dictionary like no other...The
Art
History
Babes
(the team behind the prolific podcast) bring you their debut book: The Honest
Art
Dictionary. Breaking down the elitist world of
art
, the
Babes
introduce over 300
art
terms -- spanning
art
history
, iconic movements, peculiar words and pretentious phrases -- so that you can lay down that
art
jargon with the best of them.
Art
speak is infamously alienating, strange and confusing as hell. Think stereotypical, stylish
art
dealers who describe
art
as derivative and dynamic -- or stuffy auction houses filled with portraits of dead white people called Old Masters. What do these words mean? Where did they come from? And how can you actually use them? From avant-garde to oeuvre, the Harlem Renaissance to New Objectivity, museum fatigue to memento mori - The
Art
History
Babes
introduce all the
art
terms you need to know. With whip-smart humour, on-point knowledge and a heavy dose of candour, The Honest
Art
Dictionary is a valuable starter pack for those new to the study of
art
history
, those re-exploring the discipline, or those simply interested in impressing their friends during a trip to the local
art
museum.
