Abstract

"What is abstract art good for? What's the use--for us as individuals, or for any society--of pictures of nothing, of paintings and sculptures or prints or drawings that do not seem to show anything except themselves?" In this invigorating account of abstract art since Jackson Pollock, eminent art historian Kirk Varnedoe, the former chief curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, asks these and other questions as he frankly confronts the uncertainties we may have about the nonrepresentational art produced in the last five decades. He makes a compelling argument for its history and value, much as E. H. Gombrich tackled representation fifty years ago in Art and Illusion, another landmark A. W. Mellon Lectures volume. Realizing that these lectures might be his final work, Varnedoe conceived of them as a statement of his faith in modern art and the culminating example of his lucidly pragmatic and philosophical approach to art history. He delivered the lectures, edited and reproduced here with their illustrations, to overflowing crowds at the National Gallery of Art in Washington in the spring of 2003, just months before his death. With brilliance, passion, and humor, Varnedoe addresses the skeptical attitudes and misunderstandings that we often bring to our experience of abstract art. Resisting grand generalizations, he makes a deliberate and scholarly case for abstraction--showing us that more than just pure looking is necessary to understand the self-made symbolic language of abstract art. Proceeding decade by decade, he brings alive the history and biography that inform the art while also challenging the received wisdom about distinctions between abstraction and representation, modernism and postmodernism, and minimalism and pop. The result is a fascinating and ultimately moving tour of a half century of abstract art, concluding with an unforgettable description of one of Varnedoe's favorite works." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0654/2006006621-d.html.

Abstract

Les artistes de ce projet se revendiquent de la "Nouvelle Abstraction", du "hard-edge", d'une "nouvelle picturalité", du structurisme, d'une aventure poétique autour du concept de "quatrième dimension" ("Park Place"). Le titre de cet ouvrage est emprunté à Toward a New Abstraction, catalogue d'une exposition organisée par Ben Heller en mai-septembre 1963, au Jewish Museum de New York, qui regroupait quelques figures telles que Frank Stella, Paul Brach, Kenneth Noland, Raymond Parker, Ellsworth Kelly. Le thème de cet essai est de relier par l'esprit les artistes élus dans un courant de "Nouvelle Abstraction", par opposition aux autres mouvements déterminants l'"esprit du temps", tels que par exemple le minimalisme naissant et le Pop Art. (extrait de l'introduction de l'auteur)

Abstract

This is the final volume in a series of four books about art and its interpretation from the midnineteenth century to the end of the twentieth. The books seek to explain the most important issues confronting any study of modern art, without attempting exhaustive coverage. They present a range of approaches characteristic of current art-historical debates. This fourth volume focuses on art since the 1930s, the main emphasis being on the period since the Second World War.
