{"product_id":"9780878468164","title":"Contemporary Art: Mfa Highlights","description":"Contemporary art is a vast and complex field representing artists, ideas and trends from every imaginable cultural and geographical background. This book introduces the art of our times by taking the reader through a tour of some 70 examples from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Thematic chapters present artistic categories, concepts and propositions that offer a path toward understanding the different subjects, forms, styles, purposes and techniques of contemporary art. Some, such as portraiture, are long-standing notions in the history of art; others, such as site appropriation, raise provocative questions and may be less immediately obvious. But it is the works themselves--brilliantly conceived by some of the most creative minds of our times--that make the case for embracing contemporary art in all its diversity.","brand":"Museum of Fine Arts, Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022691418352,"sku":"9780878468164","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780878468164_p0.jpg?v=1763851090","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780878468164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
