MEDIEVAL MODERN : ART OUT OF TIME 英文原版 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　This groundbreaking study offers a radical new reading of art

since the Middle Ages. Moving across the familiar period lines set

out in conventional histories, Alexander Nagel explores the deep

connections between modern and premodern art to reveal the

underlying patterns and ideas traversing centuries of artistic

practice.

In a series of episodic chapters, he reconsiders from an

innovative double perspective a number of key issues in the history

of art, from iconoclasm and idolatry to installation and the museum

as institution. He shows how the central tenets of modernism –

serial production, site-specificity, collage, the readymade, and

the questioning of the nature of art and authorship – were all

features of earlier times before modernity, revived by recent

generations.

Nagel examines, among other things, the importance of medieval

cathedrals to the 1920s Bauhaus movement, the parallels between

Renaissance altarpieces and modern preoccupations with surface and

structure; the relevance of Byzantine models to Minimalist artists;

the affinities between ancient holy sites and early earthworks; and

the similarities between the sacred relic and the modern readymade.

Alongside the work of leading 20th-century medievalist writes such

as Walter Benjamin, Marshall McLuhan, Leo Steinberg, and Duchamp,

Kurt Schwitters, Robert Smithson, and Damien Hirst.

The effect of these encounters goes in two directions at once:

each age offers new insights into the other, deepening our

understanding of both past and present, and providing a new set of

reference points that reframe the history of art itself.

媒体评论

　　Alexander Nagel reminds us, throughout the

skilful weave of his argument, that there is much more medievalism

in the art of the present, and much more contemporaneity in the art

of the distant past, than we often realise.

　　--The Independent

　　A wide-ranging bravura display of intellectual erudition and

exemplary curiosity … can hardly fail to stimulate the little grey

cells.

　　--Spectator

书籍介绍

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 Duchamps readymades. Alongside an analysis of 20th-century medievalist theorists such as Brecht, Joyce and Eco, Nagel considers a wide range of celebrated artists. This is a radical new reading of art that will profoundly broaden our understanding of both premodern practices and the art of the 20th and 21st centuries.
