<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A diverse set of contributions to the expanding field of ecocritical studies</b> <p/>Seeking a broad reexamination of visual culture through the lenses of ecocriticism, environmental justice, and animal studies, <i>Picture Ecology</i> offers a diverse range of art historical criticism formulated within an ecological context. This book brings together scholars whose contributions extend chronologically and geographically from eleventh-century Chinese painting to contemporary photography of California wildfires. The book's fifteen interdisciplinary essays provide a dynamic, cross-cultural approach to an increasingly vital area of study, emphasizing the environmental dimensions inherent in the content and materials of aesthetic objects. <i>Picture Ecology</i> provides valuable new approaches for considering works of art in ways that are timely, intellectually stimulating, and universally significant. <p/>With contributions by Alan C. Braddock, Maura Coughlin, Rachael Z. DeLue, T. J. Demos, Mónica Domínguez Torres, Finis Dunaway, Stephen F. Eisenman, Emily Gephart, Karl Kusserow, De-nin D. Lee, Gregory Levine, Anne McClintock, James Nisbet, Andrew Patrizio, Sugata Ray, and Greg M. Thomas. <p/>Distributed for the Princeton University Art Museum</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Karl Kusserow</b> is the John Wilmerding Curator of American Art at the Princeton University Art Museum.
