Description: Dror Burstein contemplates works of art from various cultures Europe, the Far East, Israel, ancient Mesopotamiathat portray animals which are caged, suffering or dead at the hands of humans. In clear but delicate language that appeals to the eye and the heart, Burstein writes about the still-life paintings, sculptures and photographs in which the treatment of animals is an outrage. The images depict animals that have been dismembered at the butchers or in abattoirs; hunted birds; fish laid out at a London market; chained apes in Antwerps port; a lion hunt by an ancient Assyrian monarch; various biblical scenes, such as the Binding of Isaac with the ram caught in the thicket, and more. Among them, Burstein also seeks out images that protest the way in which animals are used by humans, whether they be artists, cooks or diners. They show a different relationship between man and beast: one that is harmonious and not violent. Meat and Artmakes incisive statements about human responsibility, solidarity, the meaning of death, suffering and art. It offers cultural, artistic and literary enrichment to the vegetarian and vegan conversation underway in the world, as well as an activist look at the fine arts that will intrigue anyone interested in art and art criticism. There are also animal poems written by various poets. The book is in good condition overall. Aside from some penciled writing on the end paper there are no other markings, tears or dog years to the pages. The binding is fully intact and strong. There's some light soiling and bumps to the cover. See images for more on condition.
