Abstract
Since the start of the start of the twentieth century, art has increasingly seen the artist's body used as both the subject and the object of the work. Bound or beaten, naked or painted, still or spasmodic: the body is present in all possible guises, as the artist literally lives his or her art either publicly in performances, or privately in video and photography.
Description
Tracing artists' increasing use of their bodies as subject and actual material of their artworks, this title charts the rise of new forms of expression such as body art, happenings, performance and live art. - from Amazon
