The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

With the words ’A new manifestation of art was . expected necessary inevitable ’ Jean Moréas announced the advent of the Symbolist movement in 1886. When Symbolist artists began experimenting in order to invent new visual languages appropriate for representing modern life in all its complexity they set the stage for innovation in twentieth-century art. Rejecting what they perceived as the superficial descriptive quality of Impressionism Naturalism and Realism Symbolist artists delved beneath the surface to express feelings ideas scientific processes and universal truths. By privileging intangible concepts over perceived realities and by asserting their creative autonomy Symbolist artists broke with the past and paved the way for the heterogeneity and penchant for risk-taking that characterizes modern art. The essays collected here which consider artists from France to Russia and Finland to Greece argue persuasively that Symbolist approaches to content form and subject helped to shape twentieth-century Modernism. Well-known figures such as Kandinsky Khnopff Matisse and Munch are considered alongside lesser-known artists such as Fini Gyzis Koen and Vrubel in order to demonstrate that Symbolist art did not constitute an isolated moment of wild experimentation but rather an inspirational point of departure for twentieth-century developments. | The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

Contemporary Art Systems and the Aesthetics of Dispersion

Contemporary Art Systems and the Aesthetics of Dispersion

Using five case studies of contemporary art this book uses ideas of systems and dispersion to understand identity and experience in late capitalism. This book considers five artists who exemplify contemporary art practice: Seth Price; Liam Gillick; Martin Creed; Hito Steyerl; and Theaster Gates. Given the diversity of materials used in art today once-traditional artistic mediums and practices have become obsolete in describing what artists do today. Francis Halsall argues that in the face of this obsolescence the ideas of system and dispersion become very useful in understanding contemporary art. That is practitioners now can be seen to be using whatever systems of distribution and display are available to them as their creative mediums. The two central arguments are first that any understanding of what art is will always be underwritten by a related view of what a human being is; and second that these both have a particular character in late capitalism or as is named here the Age of Dispersion. The book will be of interest to scholars and students working in art history contemporary art studio art and theories of systems and networks. | Contemporary Art Systems and the Aesthetics of Dispersion

Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation

Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation

Visually appealing conceptually startling and intellectually engaging-these phrases aptly describe the art of Liliana Porter. Florencia Bazzano-Nelson's study focuses on the principal theme in the Argentine-born artist's work since the 1970s: her playful but subversive dismantling of the limits that separate everyday reality from the world of illusion and simulacra. Over the years Porter's own evolving interest in perception lead the author to explore a series of interconnected and timely issues in her artistic production such as the representative function of art the structural links between art and language and the witty re-signification of the art-historical images and mass-produced kitsch figurines she has so often featured in her art. Strongly founded in critical theory Bazzano-Nelson's approach considers Porter's art as the site of conceptually exciting dialogues with Jorge Luis Borges René Magritte Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard. Her carefully crafted interdisciplinary analysis not only combines art-historical literary and theoretical perspectives but also addresses the artist's work in different media such as printmaking conceptual art photography and film. | Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation

The Art of Suffering and the Impact of Seventeenth-century Anti-Providential Thought

The Art of Suffering and the Impact of Seventeenth-century Anti-Providential Thought

This title was first published in 2003. 'The art of suffering' is one of many strands of literature on suffering published in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This book explores through the art of suffering the way in which the meaning for suffering which the seventeenth century inherited from the Middle Ages and which centres on the role of suffering as a manifestation of the hand of God in the process of salvation is refined and enhanced by successive puritan writers only to crumble under the impact of emerging anti-providential thought. It goes on to explore the challenge which the absence of meaning for suffering presents to the Judaeo-Christian concept of an omnipotent and infinitely good God and the ways in which themes and doctrines already present in the literature on suffering are reshaped and recombined to defend the omnipotence and infinite goodness of God. | The Art of Suffering and the Impact of Seventeenth-century Anti-Providential Thought

Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat

Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat

Precisely 30 years after the debut of her provocative photo-portraits this book chronicles the early career of Iranian-American artist Shirin Neshat. In its first 20 years Neshat’s work weaved viewers into complex readings of women and power in Iran. Yet her images also drew criticisms of exoticizing Muslim women and later video installations were accused of lacking political assertion during stormy relations between the West and the Islamic world. Now broadly recognized as a social justice artist this volume chronicles Neshat’s evolution from photography to film from personal to political expression and expands existing scholarship to investigate underserved contexts for her work including the cinematic turn and emergent theories of globality in contemporary art. Neshat’s hyphenated identity was often attenuated by reductive and exoticizing discourses; therefore this volume draws attention to her transnational methodologies informed by strategies of appropriation performativity and embodiment while articulating Persian visual and literary traditions. Complicating simplistic ethnographies her disruption of neo-Orientalist paradigms and representations has led audiences to reconsider Islamophobic Islamism and gender repressions that are political psychological and above all cross-cultural. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history photography cinema studies performance transnational and global studies women’s studies and Iranian studies. | Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat
