The Changing Boundaries and Nature of the Modern Art World
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-15473-5 (ISBN)
Discussing painting in general and abstract painting in particular, his survey takes in photorealism, sculpture and art forms found outside of the modernist tradition. Kalina's group of artists includes Mel Bochner, Joan Mitchell, Cy Twombly, Franz West, and Alma Thomas who, in their ongoing projects, explicitly or implicitly questioned the aesthetic assumptions of their times.
Merging an examination of animating philosophies and context - political, social, and personal - with a sharply focused look at the works of art themselves, Kalina brings us closer to understanding the social matrices in which art is embedded and responds to bigger questions about the object nature of the work of art in today’s world.
Richard Kalina is Professor of Art at Fordham University, USA. He is the Editor of Imagining the Present: Context, Content, and the Role of the Critic (2006) and a Contributing Editor to the monthly magazine Art in America.
