This compendium of short, thought-provoking essays and surprising insights by the staff of The Metropolitan Museum of Art focuses on 100 works--both famous highlights and little-known gems--to explore artistic representations of relationships, the self, politics, spirituality, and the environment. The wide-ranging texts probe the enduring resonance of an Egyptian temple built two thousand years ago, reflect on an ancient Roman sculpture of a wounded warrior, examine spirituality through a fourteenth-century Chinese incense box, muse on Giorgio de Chirico's family history drawn from his painting \u003ci\u003eAriadne\u003c\/i\u003e (1913), and touch on many other topics. For the first time, a book brings together voices from across The Met--curators, conservators, designers, editors, educators, and librarians--to consider how art inspires us to connect to the world and to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67612170780962,"sku":"9781588398093-new","price":28.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9781588398093.jpg?v=1793076311","url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/products\/points-view-100-connections-art-9781588398093-new","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
