Estudios de Arte y Cultura Visual

Abstract

Pilar Aumente Rivas and Miguel Ángel Chaves Martín (Coords.), Estudios de Arte y Cultura Visual, Madrid: Icono14 Editorial, 2016, ISBN 978-84-15816-08-9. The volume brings together the work of some twenty professors and researchers from disciplines such as Art History, Contemporary History, Art Criticism, Audiovisual Communication, and Advertising, and constitutes a tribute book to Professor Carlos Pérez Reyes, emeritus professor of Contemporary Art at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The studies cover painting, sculpture, urbanism, architecture, heritage, photography, film, and graphic design from an interdisciplinary perspective, organized alphabetically by author. The reviewer regards the work positively for its thematic and disciplinary breadth, offering a plural and up-to-date panorama of visual culture and contemporary artistic practices in Spain and other contexts.
