Recent decades have seen attempts to recast the story in terms of material culture, but the focus seems to remain on the upper strata of society. In his inclusive analysis of art from 1300 to 1600, Rembrandt Duits rectifies this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing together thought-provoking ideas from art historians, historians, anthropologists and museum curators, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of the Poor\u003c\/i\u003e examines the role of art in the lower social classes of Europe and explores how this influences our understanding of medieval and early modern society. Introducing new themes and raising innovative research questions through a series of thematically grouped short case studies, this book gives impetus to a new field on the cusp of art history, social history, urban archaeology, and historical anthropology. In doing so, this important study helps us re-assess the very concept of 'art' and its function in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRembrandt Duits\u003c\/b\u003e is Deputy-Curator of the Photographic Collection at the Warburg Institute, London, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459212099837,"sku":"9781350214576","price":84.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/dUl1SG5BWE1ZSzduMG5oZ2IraTJQZz09.webp?v=1777253161","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-poor-the-aesthetic-material-culture-of-the-lower-classes-in-europe-1300-1600-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
