Abstract

Since the 1960s artists from various countries have positioned themselves increasingly within a system of art that is now global in its reach. However, Italian artists in particular have, with some exceptions, resisted expressing a certain putative artistic "Italian-ness," thus undermining the global system's tendency to identify artists, artworks, and movements according to nationality. The expression "Italian art" names quite an impervious referent: it exists in a kind of limbo, perpetually suspended between abysmal default and epiphanic excess, its identity as a subject neither ascertained nor denied. Italian artworks therefore neither correspond to a preexisting array of local attributes nor resonate with a discernible web of global meanings.

Abstract

"The narrative of the artist's life and work is one of the oldest models in the Western literature of the visual arts. In Art as Existence, Gabriele Guercio investigates the metamorphosis of the artist's monograph, tracing its formal and conceptual trajectories from Vasari's sixteenth-century Lives of the Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (which provided the model and source for the genre) through its apogee in the nineteenth century and decline in the twentieth. He looks at the legacy of the life-and-work model and considers its prospects in an intellectual universe of deconstructionism, psychoanalysis, feminism, and postcolonialism. Since Vasari, the monograph has been notable for its fluidity and variety; it can be scrupulous and exact, probing and revelatory, poetic and imaginative, or any combination of these. In the nineteenth century, the monograph combined art-historical, biographical, and critical methods, and even added elements of fiction. Guercio explores some significant books that illustrate key phases in the model's evolution, including works by Gustav Friedrich Waagen, A.C. Quatremere de Quincy, Johann David Passavant, Bernard Berenson, and others. The hidden project of the artist's monograph, Guercio claims, comes from a utopian impulse; by commuting biography into art and art into biography, the life-and-work model equates art and existence, construing otherwise distinct works of an artist as chapters of a life story. Guercio calls for a contemporary reconsideration of the life-and-work model, arguing that the ultimate legacy of the artist's monograph does not lie in its established modes of writing but in its greater project and in the intimate portrait that we gain of the nature of creativity."--Publisher's website.
