History of art / art & design styles
Hardcover. Art, William Kentridge says, is its own form of knowledge. It does not simply supplement the real world, and cannot be purely understood in the rational terms of academic disciplines. The studio is where linear thinking is abandoned and the material processes of the eye, the hand, the charcoal and paper become themselves the guides of creativity. Series: The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures. Num Pages: 208 pages, illustrations (colour). BIC Classification: ACXJ; AGB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 146 x 237 x 21. Weight in Grams: 496.
