The Whole Picture: The Colonial Story of the Art in Our Museums & Why We Need to Talk about It, by Alice Procter
4.0
As an arthistory student (living in Europe and learning mostly about European art) this was an important read which SHOULD be on our curriculum!
Not only does Procter include examples of artworks which have to be analyzed from a postcolonial pov, she also does a great job explaining her reasoning behind it.
Would highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in learning about how institutions (museums, galeries, etc.) shape our way of percieving art!
