Art Criticism and Modernism in the United States (Routledge Research in Art History)

Stephen Moonie

4.9/5 (19501 ratings)

Description:This study is an analysis of the high point and subsequent decline of modernist criticism in New York during the 1960s. Through a close reading of a selection of key critics of the period - which will expand the remit beyond the canonical texts - the book examines the ways that modernist criticism's discourse remains of especial disciplinary interest.Despite its alleged narrowness and exclusion, the debate of the 1960s raised fundamental questions concerning the nature of art writing. Those include arguments around the nature of value and judgement; the relationship between art criticism and art history; and the related problem of what we mean by the 'contemporary.' Stephen Moonie argues that within those often-fractious debates, there exists a shared discourse. And further, contrary to the current consensus that modernists were elitist, dogmatic, and irrelevant to contemporary debates on art, the study shows that there is much that we can learn from reconsidering their writings.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, modern art, art criticism, and literary studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
