More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Now published in paperback, this book is the first systematic study to explore the way in which words have encroached on the visual arts from the late 19th century to the present day. From the Impressionists to contemporary practitioners, Writing on the Wall shows how artists have responded to an environment increasingly saturated with words, and how the mass media has adopted and adapted artistic devices in typography, propaganda and advertising.

Format:Paperback
Writing on the Wall is a great reference source for any one with an interest in art which combines the written word with a piece of art. It covers art from the first inclusion of words in images, fragments of words on objects within an image right through to pieces where the words are the image. A well researched book and a great addition to my library of art books.
