商品簡介
In this contribution to scholarship on the colonial aspects of visual art, Codell (art history/Center for Asian Research, Arizona State U.) compiles essays that examine spatial forms in which transculturation across 'contact zones' was represented in and about the British Empire and in countries subject to British influence. International art historians offer interpretations of the production and reception of colonial-era images and image-makers, including portraits of a British baron in 18th-century Bengal, representations of Othello and Desdemona in Victorian England, photographs of aboriginal women in Canada, sculptures of Congolese peoples, John Singer Sargent's portrayals of British males, and a UK founder of art museums in South Arica. Several of the numerous art illustrations are in color. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
