Drawing upon new insights in fields such as anthropology and linguistics, George Kubler replaced the notion of style as the basis for histories of art with the concept of historical sequence and continuous change across time. Kubler’s classic work is now made available in a freshly designed edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Shape of Time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is as relevant now as it was in 1962. This book, a sober, deeply introspective, and quietly thrilling meditation on the flow of time and space and the place of objects within a larger continuum, adumbrates so many of the critical and theoretical concerns of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. It is both appropriate and necessary that it re-appear in our consciousness at this time.”—Edward J. Sullivan, New York University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to all students of art history and to those concerned with the nature and theory of history in general. In a study of formal and symbolic durations the author presents a radically new approach to the problem of historical change. Using new ideas in anthropology and linguistics, he pursues such questions as the nature of time, the nature of change, and the meaning of invention. The result is a view of historical sequence aligned on continuous change more than upon the static notion of style—the usual basis for conventional histories of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books \u0026 Brew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67268667506861,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/booksandbrew.net\/products\/the-shape-of-time","provider":"Books And Brew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
