famously stated, "The first man who compared a woman to a rose was a poet, the second, an imbecile." 1 Many art clichs such as "art for art's sake," or even critiques of art clichs such as the one provided here by Nerval overlook two critical aspects of the artists' endeavors: art as socially and culturally constructed and interpreted, and art as fundamentally human After all, "art imitates life," or is it, "life imitates art?" Put another way, in an online blog conversation, Jim Hurlburt suggests, "I've managed to offend 'artists' for years by saying that art *must* include communication. That at a bare minimum, one must be able to look at a piece of art and agree that the artist had something to say" ("The Uses of Cliche" 2011). Winter, in the same thread, writes, "Eternal art starts with good story telling"(ibid). As the antimetabole title implies, The Art of Anthropology/The Anthropology of Art engages with the complex and overlapping relationships between anthropology and art. Fashioned through cultural dialogue, anthropologists and artists help shape one another's practices, outcomes, and associated disciplines.
