With The Invention of Art, Larry Shiner challenges our conventional understandings of art and asks us to reconsider its history entirely, arguing that the category of fine art is a modern invention-that the lines drawn between art and craft resulted from key social transformations in Europe during the long eighteenth century. ``Shiner spent over a decade honing what he calls a brief history of the idea of art. This carefully prepared and-given the extent and complexity of what hes discussing-admirably concise, well-organized book is the result. . . . Shiners text is scholarly but accessible, and should appeal to readers with even a dabblers interest in art theory.``-Publishers Weekly ``The Invention of Art is enjoyable to read and provides a welcome addition to the history and philosophy of art.``-Terrie L. Wilson, Art Documentation ``A lucid book . . . it should be a must-read for anyone active in the arts.``-Marc Spiegler, Chicago Tribune Books
