An Excavation of Tenth Street: Essays on the History of Abstract Expressionism

Daniel A. Siedell

4.9/5 (24568 ratings)

Description:Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Whale and Star Press Abstract expressionism is a historical narrative within which the bold and dynamic work of such artists as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Barnett Newman, and Mark Rothko acquire meaning and significance. The narrative was crafted in the 1940s and 1950s by bold and dynamic critics such as Clement Greenberg, Harold Rosenberg, and Meyer Schapiro, who used the new art to deepen their work and strengthen their roles as cultural critics at a moment when the stakes for national art and culture on an international stage were unusually high.Daniel A. Siedell’s essays in An Excavation of Tenth Street explore this complex relationship between the art and the criticism by focusing attention on the intentions of the critics themselves, particularly Greenberg and Rosenberg. These essays suggest that the failure of art historians to recognize their own intentions have distorted the relationship between art and criticism. It is only by engaging the art criticism, disentangling its often-divided loyalties, and understanding its complex relationship to the art it purports to interpret that the integrity and primacy of the art itself can be “excavated,” revealing it to transcend the fascinating and compelling discourse it generates.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
