The arts have always existed in many active give-and-take or autocatalytic relationships with the world around them. The arts absorb ideas from religion, philosophy, politics, society at large, and every other area of thought; forge their own forms of visual expression, and, in turn, they influence the world around them in ways that only the visual arts can do.”\u003c\/p\u003e                                           ","brand":"Michael Kampen-O'Riley Ph.D.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070367355114,"sku":"9780205887897","price":181.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/A1ubhJQiQxL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781258550","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/art-beyond-the-west","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
