Academic Art

2.5/5 ( ratings)

Academic, Academician, the Academy ... words as dirty as words can get in discussions of art.

Why? How did the ideas and styles of Academic art fall into such disrepute? When did they become synonymous with "worship of the past," "doctrinaire," "systematic," "imitative"?

The answers to these questions and many more emerge as fourteen distinguished artists and critics define and reexamine the art, architecture and philosophy of the Academy through four centuries of development and change.
