{"product_id":"pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-history-and-practice-1","title":"Pier Paolo Pasolini for Art History and Practice","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":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283509428568,"sku":"9781526186164","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781526186164.jpg?v=1766047537","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pier-paolo-pasolini-for-art-history-and-practice-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
