THE WHOLE PICTURE: THE COLONIAL STORY OF THE ART IN OUR MUSEUMS AND WHY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT

Book ID/图书代码： 03220020C00127

English Summary/英文概要： Should museums be made to give back their marbles? Is it even possible to ’decolonize’ our galleries? Must Rhodes fall? How to deal with the colonial history of art in museums and monuments in the public realm is a thorny issue that we are only just beginning to address. Alice Procter, creator of the Uncomfortable Art Tours, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about art history and tells the stories that have been left out of the canon. The book is divided into four chronological sections, named after four different kinds of art space: The Palace, The Classroom, The Memorial and The Playground. Each section tackles the fascinating, enlightening and often shocking stories of a selection of art pieces, including the propaganda painting the East India Company used to justify its rule in India; the tattooed Maori skulls collected as ’art objects’ by Europeans; and works by contemporary artists who are taking on colonial history in their work and activism today.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 博物館中的藝術品藏著許多殖民的歷史，這些藝術品很多都是帝國主義侵略者的「戰利品」，承載著許多不為人知的血腥暴力歷史。究竟我們該如何看待這件事？博物館有權收藏擁有這些物品嗎？還是應該物歸原主？屬於公共領域的文物該如何被看待？

本書處理藝術史上長久以來遭到忽略的陰暗面和議題，這當中有迷人的藝術品，還有令人震驚的故事，一本深具啟發性的歷史大作。 (Zoe)
