The Story of Contemporary ArtA lively introduction to and history of international contemporary art from 1960 to the present. What does it mean? Is it really art? Why does it cost so much?

A lively introduction to and history of international contemporary art from 1960 to the present. What does it mean? Is it really art? Why does it cost so much? While these questions are perpetually asked about contemporary art, they are not the questions that E. H. Gombrich set out to answer in his seminal book The Story of Art. Contemporary art is very different from what came before. From the 1960s, where Gombrich's account concludes, artists began to abandon traditional forms of art and started to make work that questioned art's very definition. This is where Godfrey picks up the story. Developments in contemporary art have followed no straightforward line of progress or sequence of movements. Recognizing this, Tony Godfrey creates a narrative from a series of often dramatic creative conflicts and arguments around what art is or should be. From object versus sculpture and painting versus conceptual to local versus global, gallery versus wider world, The Story of Contemporary Art traces a history in terms of drastic changes in social and political life over the last sixty years. How do we experience being human in a world that seems to change so quickly? In exploring art's relationship to this question, Godfrey asserts that multiple voices must be heard: critics, theorists, curators and collectors, but also audiences and artists themselves. Key to the book is the story of how a perception that art was made almost exclusively by white men from North America and Western Europe has been radically overturned. Compelling and intelligent, but never academic, this book tells us how.

High Quality Spirulina at a Great Value
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been taking spirulina for a few years now, and Micro Ingredients Organic Spirulina Powder has quickly become one of my favorites. The quality is excellent, rich color, fine texture, and no unpleasant odor, which is a good sign of freshness. I really appreciate that it’s organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and contains no additives. It mixes well into smoothies and juices, and I love that it’s packed with plant-based protein, chlorophyll, and essential vitamins and minerals. For the price and the purity, this is an amazing value. I’ll definitely keep buying it!

Very Fine, High Quality Spirulina
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Wow, they really vacuum seal these bags! When I received this bag, it was practically brick hard, as if the contents has frozen in there. I was a little nervous about what that might mean for the powder, but after I cut across the top and let some air out, it all changed. The powder was super vivid forest green; and it was soft and fluffy with constant little clouds of powder coming out of the bag. If I just sit here with the bag open, tiny green particles keep flying out on its own. This powder is extremely fine! That's a good thing since the finer the powdern the higher the quality, in most cases. The brilliant green color is wonderful, and it instantly provides energy and great health benefits. I believe everyone should be taking Spirulina and other natural supplements since the average American diet is way under proper nourishment. This Spirulina tastes pretty terrible to me, so I blended it with some other healthy powders- moringa, beet, and triphala- to make an awesome superfood health supplement! This way it's easy to take, I can share the wealth, and take in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that my body needs for energy and proper nourishment. Encapsulating is definitely a good idea for those who simply don't make smoothies for all of their supplements every day, and for those who easily forget or need to take various health supplements. This is a great combo.

Excellent Translation, Footnotes
Format: Hardcover
Excellent translation, pairs well with the first volume from the Loeb Library. This one has the same translator and editor. The English is a bit "grand" as suits the Greek, but not so archaic or out of step with modern English that it'd give the reader pause. This is a great copy of the Odyssey for folks who want to follow the Greek with a nearby English translation for reference.
