Charles Townsend Harrison Bücher

Diese bis heute umfassendste, zweibändig angelegte Quellensammlung zieht ein enzyklopädisches Resümee der modernen Kunsttheorie in Europa und Amerika. Allen an Kunst, Kunstphilosophie und Kunstkritik interessierten Lesern stellt sie eine repräsentative Auswahl relevanter Texte zur Verfügung, die bisher nur schwer aufzufinden oder verstreut veröffentlicht waren. Die gebundene Ausgabe, die 1998 bei Hatje Cantz erschienen ist, wurde schnell zum 'Standardwerk der Standardtexte', das wir Ihnen nun als broschierte Studienausgabe zu einem sensationell günstigen Preis anbieten können. Die annähernd 400 Beiträge von Künstlern, Kunsttheoretikern, Philosophen, Soziologen, Politikern und Schriftstellern - Manifeste, Aufsätze, Briefe, Essays, Buchkapitel, Interviews, Vortragstexte von 1895 bis 1991 - wurden in acht Hauptkapitel chronologisch und thematisch geordnet und mit editorischen Einführungen versehen; ein Personen- und Sachregister dient der bequemen Erschließung. Gegenüber dem äußerst erfolgreichen englischen Original mit dem Titel Art in Theory von 1992 ist die deutsche Ausgabe um rund 75 Beiträge erweitert worden und macht zudem viele fremdsprachige Texte - von Kasimir Malewitsch bis Jeff Koons, von Georges Bataille bis Gajatri Spivak - erstmals in übersetzter Form zugänglich.

Art in Theory 1815-1900 is the most wide-ranging and comprehensive collection of documents ever assembled on 19th century theories of art. Like its highly successful companion volume, Art in Theory 1900-1990, this indispensable volume provides the documentary material for informed and up-to-date study. Its 236 texts, clear organization, and considerable editorial content help to create the essential guide to art theory of the period. The anthology also provides a view of the wider cultural debates of the 19th century, and the development of modern aesthetic theories.Art in Theory combines writings by artists, critics, philosophers, and literary figures -- some reprinted in their entirety, others excerpted from longer works. About 1/3 of the material is composed of new translations, with texts drawn from French, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Russian sources. It examines a broad range of themes including concepts of genius and originality, modes of landscape painting, approaches to Realism, the question of Modernity and debates over Impressionism, theories of optics and color, the aesthetics of photography, and the rise of photography. Each section is prefaced by an essay that situates the ideas of the period in their historical context, while relating theoretical concerns and debates to developments in the practice of art. Each text is briefly introduced by an outline giving the circumstances of its original appearance and indicating its relevance to the development of modern artistic theory. An extensive bibliography is also provided.

Modern Art and Modernism offers first-hand material for the study of issues central to the development of modern art, its theory and criticism. The history of modern art is not simply a history of works of art, it is also a history of ideas and interpretations. The works of critics and theorists have not merely been influential in deciding how modern art is to be seen and understood, they have also influenced the course it has taken. The nature of modern art cannot be understood without some analysis of the concept of Modernism itself. Modern Art and Modernism presents a selection of texts by the major contributors to debate on this subject, from Baudelaire to Zola in the 19th century to Greenburg and T J Clark on our own times. It offers a balanced selection of essays by contributors to the mainstream of Modernist criticism, representative examples of writing on the themes of abstraction and expressionism in modern art, and a number of important contributions to the discussion of aesthetics and the social role of the artist.

Exploring the pivotal role of the picture plane in modern painting, this work delves into the intricate relationships between artists, subjects, and viewers, particularly focusing on the representation of women. Charles Harrison argues that female subjects not only engage viewers but also reflect the gender anxieties of their time. Through analyses of renowned artists from Renoir to Cindy Sherman, he intertwines cultural criticism and social history, supported by vivid illustrations that enhance the reader's understanding of his interpretations and the significance of gender in art.
