Abstract

Der von Saussure eingeleitete "linguistic turn" führte nicht nur eine Präzisierung der Geisteswissenschaften herbei, sondern verengte auch deren Horizont. Daß die ästhetische Moderne aber ursprünglich und in erster Linie durch Malerei und Plastik geprägt war, bezeugt schon Carl Einsteins Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts, die 1926 in erster Auflage erschien. Diesem am Werk von Picasso, Braque u.a. exemplifizierten "iconic turn" entspricht auch der Stil des Einsteinschen Werks, das einen eigentümlichen Kompromiß zwischen avantgardistischem Manifest und Konventionen der Kunstgeschichts- schreibung eingeht. Daß damit "absolut Endgültiges über die Kunst unserer Zeit" gesagt war, bestätigt Einstein der Pariser Kunsthändler Kahnweiler schon bei der Erstausgabe. Die bedeutendste Kunstschrift der Moderne wird aus der Sicht ihrer Leitbegriffe, der praktizierten Stil- und Wertungsverfahren und der behandelten Künstler und Kunstrichtungen erhellt.

Abstract

Early twentieth-century art and art practice in Britain and the United States were, Janet Wolff asserts, marginalized by critics and historians in very similar ways after the rise of post-Cubist modern art. In a masterly book on the sociology of modernism, Wolff explores work that was primarily realist and figurative and investigates the social, institutional, political, and aesthetic processes by which that art fell by the wayside in the postwar period. Throughout, she shows that questions of gender and ethnicity play an important role in critical, curatorial, and historical evaluations. For example, Wolff finds that the work of the artists central to the development of the Whitney Museum was relegated to a secondary status in the postwar period, when realism was labeled "feminine" in contrast to the aggressive masculinity of abstract expressionism.The three key periods considered in AngloModern are the early twentieth century, when modernist art and existing and new realist traditions coexisted in a certain tension; the postwar period, in which modernism claimed superiority over realism; and the late twentieth century, when a retrieval of the realist and figurative traditions seemed to occur. Wolff concludes by considering this re-emergence, as well as the limitations of earlier discussions of the struggles of realist and figurative art to endure the currents of modernism.

Abstract

Annette Michelson's contributions to art and film criticism over the last three decades have been unparalleled. This volume honors her unique legacy with original essays by some of the many scholars who have been influenced by her work. Some continue her efforts to develop theoretical frameworks for understanding modernist art, while others practice her form of interdisciplinary criticism in relation to avant-garde and modernist art works and artists. Still others investigate and evaluate Michelson's work itself. All in some way pay homage to her extraordinary contribution.

Abstract

What was different about the environments that women created as architects, designers and clients at a time when they were gaining increasing political and social status in a male world? Through a series of case studies, Women's Places: Architecture and Design 1860-1960, examines in detail the professional and domestic spaces created by women who had money and the opportunity to achieve their ideal. Set against a background of accepted notions of modernity relating to design and architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this book provides a fascinating insight into women

Abstract

In this work Luca Somigli discusses several European artistic movements - decadentism, Italian futurism, vorticism, and imagism - and argues for the centrality of the works of F.T. Marinetti in the transition from a fin de siecle decadent poetics, exemplified by the manifestoes of Anatole Baju, to a properly avant-garde project.
