Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Artist as Producer confronts the problem of making a politics with art. Gough's balanced rigor in mining obscure archives on the one hand, while performing brilliant readings of recalcitrant artworks on the other gives her account of Constructivism's utopian promise and less-than-utopian outcome great texture. She has produced something very rare: an art-historical study that not only adds to our knowledge but captures the intense poignancy of modern art's serious ambition to undertake a revolution of—and with—form."—David Joselit, Professor, History of Art, Yale University "To see a sculptor plunging into the politics and the cultural politics of the factory floor is a rare sight indeed in art history. It takes immense historical discipline to do it justice. Maria Gough takes the 'author as producer' question dear to Marxist aesthetics (think of Walter Benjamin, but think also of Trotsky, of Gramsci) and raises it into new relevance. The question always was and is a motor. This book shows us, beautifully, how and why."—Molly Nesbit, Professor of Art, Vassar College "The Artist as Producer is a remarkable and impressive piece of scholarship, which challenges existing assumptions about Soviet Constructivism and demands that we rethink the movement in its entirety."—Christina Lodder, author of Russian Constructivism
Download or read book The Rules of Art written by Pierre Bourdieu and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with verve and intensity (and a good bit of wordplay), this is the long-awaited study of Flaubert and the modern literary field that constitutes the definitive work on the sociology of art by one of the worlds leading social theorists. Drawing upon the history of literature and art from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Bourdieu develops an original theory of art conceived as an autonomous value. He argues powerfully against those who refuse to acknowledge the interconnection between art and the structures of social relations within which it is produced and received. As Bourdieu shows, arts new autonomy is one such structure, which complicates but does not eliminate the interconnection. The literary universe as we know it today took shape in the nineteenth century as a space set apart from the approved academies of the state. No one could any longer dictate what ought to be written or decree the canons of good taste. Recognition and consecration were produced in and through the struggle in which writers, critics, and publishers confronted one another.

This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the most recent research devoted to a systematized perspective and a critical (re)construction of previous theoretical attempts of explaining, justifying and continuing Kuhn’s ingenious hypothesis in arts. Hofstadter, Clignet and Habermas revealed to be the most engaged scholars in solving this aesthetic "puzzled-problem". In this context, the structural similarities between science and arts are attentively evaluated, thus satisfying an older concern attributed to the historical Kuhn-Kubler dispute, extensively commented along the pages of this book. How can we track the matter of rationality and truth in art and aesthetics, inspired by scientific perspectives? Are artistic styles similar to scientific paradigms? Are we entitled to pursue paradigms and masterpieces as rational models in science, respectively in arts? On what possible grounds can we borrow from science notions such as progress and predictability, in the study of the evolution of art and its aesthetic backgrounds? Are the historical dynamics of science and art affected by political factors in the same manner? This book will be of interest to philosophers, but also to historians of science and historians of art alike in the reassessment it provides of recent debates on reshaping the art world using Kuhn's "paradigm shift".

Download or read book Art and Anatomy in Renaissance Italy written by Domenico Laurenza and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2012 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the "century of anatomy," the 16th century in Italy saw an explosion of studies and treatises on the discipline. Medical science advanced at an unprecedented rate, and physicians published on anatomy as never before. Simultaneously, many of the period's most prominent artists--including Leonardo and Michelangelo in Florence, Raphael in Rome, and Rubens working in Italy--turned to the study of anatomy to inform their own drawings and sculptures, some by working directly with anatomists and helping to illustrate their discoveries. The result was a rich corpus of art objects detailing the workings of the human body with an accuracy never before attained. "Art and Anatomy in Renaissance Italy "examines this crossroads between art and science, showing how the attempt to depict bone structure, musculature, and our inner workings--both in drawings and in three dimensions--constituted an important step forward in how the body was represented in art. While already remarkable at the time of their original publication, the anatomical drawings by 16th-century masters have even foreshadowed developments in anatomic studies in modern times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the transformation that Art and Art history is undergoing through engagement with the digital revolution. Since its initiation in 1985, CHArt (Computers and the History of Art) has set out to promote interaction between the rapidly developing new Information Technology and the study and practice of Art. It has become increasingly clear in recent years that this interaction has led, not just to the provision of new tools for the carrying out of existing practices, but to the evolution of unprecedented activities and modes of thought. This collection of papers represents the variety, innovation and richness of significant presentations made at the CHArt Conferences of 2001 and 2002. Some show new methods of teaching being employed, making clear in particular the huge advantages that IT can provide for engaging students in learning and interactive discussion. It also shows how much is to be gained from the flexibility of the digital image 'Äì or could be gained if the road block of copyright is finally overcome. Others look at the impact on collections and archives, showing exciting ways of using computers to make available information about collections and archives and to provide new accessibility to archives. The way such material can now be accessed via the internet has revolutionized the search methods of scholars, but it has also made information available to all. However the internet is not only about access. Some papers here show how it also offers the opportunity of exploring the structure of images and dealing with the fascinating possibilities offered by digitisation for visual analysis, searching and reconstruction. Another challenging aspect covered here are the possibilities offered by digital media for new art forms. One point that emerges is that digital art is not some discreet practice, separated from other art forms. It is rather an approach that can involve all manner of association with both other art practices and with other forms of presentation and enquiry, demonstrating that we are witnessing a revolution that affects all our activities and not one that simply leads to the establishment of a new discipline to set alongside others.

Download or read book The Artist and Political Vision written by Benjamin R. Barber and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1982 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and politics are often regarded as denizens of different realms, but few artists have been comfortable with the notion of a purely aesthetic definition of art. The artist has a public and thus political vision of the world interpreted by his art no less than the statesman and the legislator have a creative vision of the world they wish to make. The sixteen original essays in this volume bear eloquent witness to this interpenetration of art and politics. Each confronts the intersection of the aesthetic and the social, each is concerned with the interface of poetic vision and political vision, of reflection and action. They take art in the broadest sense, ranging over poets, dramatists, novelists, essayists, and filmmakers. Their focus is on art and its political dilemmas, not simply on the artist. They consider the issues raised for politics and culture by alienation, violence, modernization, technology, democracy, progress, and revolution. And they debate the capacity of art to stimulate social change and incite revolution, the temptations of social control of culture and of political censorship, the uncertain relationship between art and history, the impact of economic structure on artistic creation and of economic class on artistic product, the common ground between art and legislation and between crea-tivitv and control.
Download or read book Composition written by Arthur Dow and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2017 Reprint of 1929 Revised and Enlarged Edition. PRINTED IN FULL COLOR as an exact facsimile of the original revised edition of 1929, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Dow was a very influencial art teacher around the turn of the 19th century, teaching at the Pratt Institute, the New York Art Students League, and Columbia University Teachers College. His ideas were quite revolutionary for the period; he taught that rather than copying nature, art should be created by elements of the composition, like line, mass and color. He wanted public leaders to see art as a living force in everyday life for all, not a sort of traditional ornament for the few. Dow suggested that art permit self-expression and include personal experience in its creation. His ideas on Art were published in the 1899 book Composition: A Series of Exercises in Art Structure for the Use of Students and Teachers. In this book he explains that Composition ... expresses the idea upon which the method here presented is founded - the "putting together" of lines, masses and colors to make a harmony. ... Composition, building up of harmony, is the fundamental process in all the fine arts. ... A natural method is of exercises in progressive order, first building up very simple harmonies ... Such a method of study includes all kinds of drawing, design and painting. It offers a means of training for the creative artist, the teacher or one who studies art for the sake of culture.
Download or read book Revolutions written by Shannon M. Hays and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernism, spoken of generally as a cross-cultural phenomenon, arises from a series of inter-related and tumultuous events in the twenty-first century. These include the anxieties affecting Western Europe around the fin-de-siecle and the first decades of the new millennium: the decline of the British Empire, The Great War, and anti-colonial nationalist movements across the Empire, but particularly in Ireland and India. Alongside, and often in conjunction with these momentous historical events, are witnessed nascent social movements by subaltern groups including women, labor, and colonized populations. Less often recognized are the intersections of historical, social and cultural shifts with revolutions in science, particularly in theoretical physics. At the height of literary Modernism, a textual revolution, one finds contemporary social, political and scientific revolutions. This study locates these connections in the pages of James Joyce's Ulysses and Virginia Woolf's The Waves, ultimately arguing that the modernist avant-garde borrows from the convulsive shifts occurring in cosmology and epistemology owing to the New Physics. Revolutionary physics are complementary to modernist textual revolutions, and provide a dynamic and shifting structure through which to describe the subaltern desire for social, political and economic revolution, as well as to begin to address what these new conditions may look like. This interdisciplinary approach is actually suggested in the earliest works of Western Literature. This is particularly so in Homer's Odyssey (from which Ulysses is adapted), in which the Euclidian models of space and time are poetically mapped onto the spaces of the known world, ultimately imposing a dichotomy of order versus chaos and civilization versus barbarism, through gendered tropes reliant on sexual difference. As such normative social organizations and normative science have historically worked in the service of a relatively uniform ideological paradigm. This sheds much light on the appeal of the scientifically revolutionary to the politics of modernist revolutionary aesthetics. At a glance, the history of the twentieth century has witnessed episodic improvements for many disenfranchised and subaltern groups. So, too, has it witnessed the rapid mechanization of life that defines modernity, the mechanization of mass death, increasing disparities in access to resources, the consolidation of power at the nexus of global capital and the State, and perhaps most immediately, neo-imperialism and neo-liberalism. Joyce, Woolf, in highlighting the constellation of forces that produce global and local inequalities, identify a space from which to begin to dismantle those ideological and institutional monoliths. This speaks meaningfully to the contemporary cooptation of the State by neo-liberal and neo-colonial ventures. In my final chapter, a comparative look at two films centered on Irish post-colonialism: Michael Collins and The Wind that Shakes the Barley, I argue that popular art may represent history in ways that are either complicit with the compounding moves of the State and global capital (the former), or, that they may show, as did Joyce and Woolf in their modernist politics, the sites of the dispossessed and disenfranchised as the very locations of resistance (the latter).

Download or read book The Structure of Moral Revolutions written by Robert Baker and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical account of moral revolutions, illustrated by historical cases that include the criminalization and decriminalization of abortion and the patient rebellion against medical paternalism. We live in an age of moral revolutions in which the once morally outrageous has become morally acceptable, and the formerly acceptable is now regarded as reprehensible. Attitudes toward same-sex love, for example, and the proper role of women, have undergone paradigm shifts over the last several decades. In this book, Robert Baker argues that these inversions are the product of moral revolutions that follow a pattern similar to that of the scientific revolutions analyzed by Thomas Kuhn in his influential book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. After laying out the theoretical terrain, Baker develops his argument with examples of moral reversals from the recent and distant past. He describes the revolution, led by the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, that transformed the postmortem dissection of human bodies from punitive desecration to civic virtue; the criminalization of abortion in the nineteenth century and its decriminalization in the twentieth century; and the invention of a new bioethics paradigm in the 1970s and 1980s, supporting a patient-led rebellion against medical paternalism. Finally, Baker reflects on moral relativism, arguing that the acceptance of “absolute” moral truths denies us the diversity of moral perspectives that permit us to alter our morality in response to changing environments.
