Medieval Modern: Art out of time

ISBN: 9780500238974 (HB - E)
€
Rich collisions and fresh perspectives illuminate the profound continuities of thought and practice that have marked Western art This groundbreaking study explores the deep connections between modern and premodern art, offering a radical reading that reveals the underlying patterns and ideas traversing centuries of artistic practice. Nagel reconsiders from an innovative double perspective some key issues in the history of art, from iconoclasm and illusionism to the status of painting, installation and the museum as institution. He examines, among other topics, why the medieval workshop was of such importance to the Bauhaus; how the 4th-century Jerusalem Chapel in Rome was a proto-earthwork akin to the projects of Robert Smithson; and the relationship between medieval relics and Duchamp's readymades. Alongside an analysis of such 20th-century medievalist theorists as Brecht, Joyce and Eco, Nagel considers a wide range of celebrated artists. The effect of these encounters goes in two directions at once: one age offers new insights into the other, and vice versa, deepening our understanding of both past and present.
