Book Description:
A study of contradictions in the visual arts from one of America's art critics, this work examines the pivotal conflict between expressionistic art and the pursuit of abstract purity. The moment one side of the dialectic is asserted as dominant, the other immediately rises up to reverse the delicate balance. Through argument and illustrations, Donald Kuspit investigates opposition between a host of central figures, including Donald Judd versus the 'new expressionists', particularly Georg Baselitz. Exploration of this universal dialectic also encompasses literary theory, lending wider relevance to the discussion. The volume offers a perspective on the history of art for artists, art historians, art critics, and students of art and literature alike.
