内容説明

Surveying the art of five decades, from 1867 to 1917, this publication follows the broad and diverse ways that artists and their public, little by little, learnt to see and to judge works of art abstractly. The contributions of Whistler, Monet, Cezanne, Maurice Denis,Vuillard, Matisse, Derain, Picasso and Braque in advancing the possibilities of abstraction are given due emphasis. Apart from Kandinsky, the first generation of abstract painters included Piet Mondrian, Kasimir Malevich, Fernand Leger, Francis Picabia, Frantiek Kupka, Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Giacomo Balla, Jean Arp, Sophie Taeuber, Paul Klee, Arthur Dove and Patrick Henry Bruce. How had these artists arrived at such a convergence? How had abstract art taken root so quickly? Why was it not singled out by critics or historians as an independent art movement? One answer is that the conventions of abstraction had evolved over such a long time and were so thoroughly embedded in the avant-garde movements of the late 19th and early 20th century, that the advent of abstract art seemed inevitable; abstraction was considered synonymous with modern art. Far from breaking links to prior avant-garde movements, as this book argues, abstraction arose directly from a tradition of speculation about the nature of art and of aesthetic experience.

内容説明

This survey of five decades of late nineteenth and early twentieth century abstract art chronicles the evolution of a movement that the book argues was the inevitable precursor to Modernism. Filled with full page reproductions as well as stunning details of some of the most influential abstract paintings of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this important volume follows the broad and diverse ways that painters such as Whistler, Monet, Cezanne, Denis, Vuillard, Matisse, Derain, Picasso, and Braque learned from each other as they embarked on an entirely new kind of expression. Informative and fascinating essays explore questions such as how these artists arrived at such a convergence; why abstract art took root so quickly; and why has it never been singled out by critics or historians as an independent art movement. This beautifully produced volume illustrates how abstraction arose directly from a tradition of speculation about the nature of art and aesthetic experience.
