In Art Energy; Barry Lord argues that human creativity is deeply linked to the resources available on Earth for our survival. From our ancient mastery of fire through our exploitation of coal; oil; and gas; to the development of todays renewable energy sources; each new source of energy fundamentally transforms our art and culturemdash;how we interact with the world; organize our communities; communicate and conceive of and assign value to art. By analyzing art; artists; and museums across eras and continents; Lord demonstrates how our cultural values and artistic expression are formed by our efforts to access and control the energy sources that make these cultures possible.
