Richard R. Brettell's innovative and beautifully-illustrated account explores the works of artists such as Monet, Gauguin, Picasso, and Dali--as well as lesser-known figures--in relation to expansion, colonialism, nationalism and internationalism, and the rise of the museum. Beginning with The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London, Brettell follows the development of the major European avant-garde groups: the Realists, Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, Symbolists, Cubists, and Surrealists. Giving attention to the changing social, economic, and political climate, the book focuses on conditions for the development of modern art such as urban capitalism, modernity, and the accessible image made possible by art museums, temporary exhibitions, lithography, and photography. Brettell examines artists' responses to modernism, including changes in representation, vision, and "the art of seeing." Combining the most recent scholarship with 140 illustrations--75 in full color--the book chronicles the change in art and image itself, from the iconology of new representations of the nude human form to the anti-iconography of "art without 'subject'": landscape painting, text and image, and abstraction. Tracing common themes of representation, imagination, perception, and sexuality across works in a wide range of different media, and offering profuse illustration to bring the changing art forms vividly to life, Modern Art 1851-1929 presents a fresh approach to the fine art and photography of this remarkable era.… (plus d'informations)
giovannigf: Julian Bell's "What Is Painting? Representation and Modern Art" is the perfect complement to Richard Brettell's "Modern Art 1851-1929: Capitalism and Representation." The first, written by a painter, gives a very thorough, very even-handed, and well thought-out history of modern painting from a formal point of view - essentially, he explains what artists were trying to achieve in painting from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th. Brettell, on the other hand, gives us a more objective view of the forces behind modern art - economic and social - and includes unexpected influences such as the invention of the photograph, the rise of the museum, and the power of the bourgeoisie. Reading both these books will give you a satisfyingly well-rounded education on modern art.… (plus d'informations)
