Features: The focus of Shared Values is on specific research in art history. For example, Rosalind Krauss's The Body Politic of Art offers a feminist interpretation of Seurat's works; John House's The Circle of the Times studies Impressionism from the perspective of social environment; while Thomas Crow's Modernism and Mass Culture in Visual Art is particularly classic. He defines the subject of Impressionism as "leisure," pointing out that the leisure activities of the middle class depicted by Impressionist painters not only reflect changes in class and lifestyle brought about by changes in production relations, but also, in fact, reflect the etiquette and identity of specific social strata.
