内容説明
Art and the Committed Eye is what happens when conventional visual art appreciation intersects with a first-rate cultural studies mind. The discussions in this book exchange conventional, historical treatments for the more enlightened discussions of politics, culture, context, and individuality and take John Bergers classic Ways of Seeing to a level relevant to todays art students and critics. }In Art and the Committed Eye Richard Leppert examines Western European and American art from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. He studies the complex relation between the look of images and the variety of social and cultural uses to which they are put and demonstrates that the meaning of any image is significantly determined by its function, which changes over time. In particular, he emphasizes the ways in which visual culture is called on to mediate social differences defined by gender, class, and race. In Part 1, Leppert addresses the nature and task of representation, discussing how meaning accrues to images and what role vision and visuality play in the history of modernity.
Here he explains imagerys power to attract our gaze by triggering desire and focuses on the long history of the use of representation to enact a deception, whether in painting or advertising.Part 2 explores arts relation to the material world, to the ways in which images mark our various physical and psychic ties to objects. The author analyzes still life paintings whose subject matter is both extraordinarily diverse and deeply paradoxicalfrom flower bouquets to grotesque formal arrangements of human body parts. Leppert demonstrates that even in innocent still lifes, formal design and technical execution are imbued with cultural conflict and social power.Part 3 is devoted to the representation of the human bodyas subject to obsessive gazing and as an object of display, spectacle, and transgression. The variety of body representation is enormous: pleased or tortured, gorgeous or monstrous, modest or lascivious, powerful or weak, in the bloom of life or under the anatomists knife, clothed or naked.
But it is the sexual body, Leppert shows, that has provided the West with its richest, most complex, contradictory, conflicted, and paradoxical accounts of human identity in relation to social ideals. }
