Why is contemporary art so intimidating and baffling to many art lovers? Art historian Joshua White explains the motives, techniques and ideas that create contemporary art.
Since the 1960s, artists have embraced a very diverse range of media and exhibition spaces to challenge the long history of Western art's conventions. This leaves many people frustrated and often confused.
Despite intensive efforts by public galleries such as Tate Modern and other museums to interpret artworks made in the past sixty years, many artists and their artworks remain very challenging and difficult to understand.
In this Arts Society Havering talk, art historian Joshua White explains why the visual culture of our own age is so significant and interesting.
Joshua White is an enthusiastic and experienced art historian and lecturer who thoroughly enjoys sharing his love and knowledge of art, photography and visual culture with an audience.
He is an experienced lecturer in 19th and 20th century European and American art, international contemporary art, photography, design and architecture and has taught for 20 years at Christie’s Education, the college of Christie's auction house in London.
