Hardback. Condition: New. This book comprises a timely and controversial assertion of beauty as vital to the energy of contemporary art. As such it surveys work by an international group of artists who share an intense and highly individualistic focus on the processes of making, authorship and aesthetic poise. An essay by Michael Bracewell shares with its subjects the return of aesthetics to the science of feelings; to the individual as opposed to 'identity'; and to a sensibility in visual art that is literary, flees the stereotype and rejects sociopolitical verbiage. It is a concept of beauty in some recent art that is less about representation than it is about memoir, fictional devices, cultural connoisseurship as praxis and the profundity of human relationships.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Citing Lana Del Rey and Andy Warhol, Isa Genzken and Barkley Hendricks, this illustrated treatise argues for beauty as a vital force of contemporary art The term 'beauty' has been all but expunged from recent art criticism. And yet it remains a quality that many artists over the last 50 years have regarded as vital to their work, in both form and subject matter. Michael Bracewell and Charles Asprey argue for a return of aesthetics to the science of feelings: in other words, a concept of beauty that is less about representation than it is about memoir, fictional devices and the profundity of human relationships. Their treatise is illustrated with works by an international group of artists, from Gilbert & George to Isa Genzken, Kai Althoff, Lucy McKenzie, Barkley Hendricks and Wolfgang Tillmans. Printed with Japanese Takeo papers, this book is a work of beauty in itself.Michael Bracewell (born 1958) is the author of seven novels and four works of nonfiction, including Souvenir: London 1979-1986 (2021) and Unfinished Business (2023).Charles Asprey is the founder of Picpus Press, an influential arts journal, and the cofounder of Ridinghouse.…
