Abstract

Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au musée national de l'Orangerie, Paris, du 12 octobre 2016 au 30 janvier 2017. Les années 1930 voient s'affirmer aux Etats-Unis des artistes considérés parmi les plus grands noms de l'art du XXe siècle, comme Georgia O'Keeffe, Grant Wood ou Edward Hopper.A travers des univers esthétiques différents tels que le régionalisme, le réalisme "social", l'abstraction ou le surréalisme, les artistes américains manifestent les mêmes doutes et les mêmes interrogations suscités par le contexte de la Grande Dépression. Ce catalogue montre comment l'expression de ces questionnements sur l'histoire et l'identité a donné lieu à des formes stylistiques dans lesquelles l'art moderne américain a pris racine et comment s'est construite ce qu'artistes et critiques appellent la "Scène américaine"

Abstract

Situating the theater as a site of broad cultural movements and conflicts, Lisa A. Freeman asserts that antitheatrical incidents from the English Renaissance to present-day America provide us with occasions to trace major struggles over the nature and balance of power and political authority. In studies of William Prynne's Histrio-mastix (1633), Jeremy Collier's A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage (1698), John Home's Douglas (1757), the burning of the theater at Richmond (1811), and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley (1998) Freeman engages in a careful examination of the political, religious, philosophical, literary, and dramatic contexts in which challenges to theatricality unfold. In so doing, she demonstrates that however differently "the public" might be defined in each epoch, what lies at the heart of antitheatrical disputes is a struggle over the character of the body politic that governs a nation and the bodies public that could be said to represent that nation.

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.
