Softcover. Condition: Very Good +. ART Philosophy -The Optical UnconsciousÂis a pointed protest against the official story of modernism and against the critical tradition that attempted to define modern art according to certain sacred commandments and self-fulfilling truths. The account of modernism presented here challenges the vaunted principle of "vision itself." And it is a very different story than we have ever read, not only because its insurgent plot and characters rise from below the calm surface of the known and law-like field of modernist painting, but because the voice is unlike anything we have heard before. Just as the artists of the optical unconscious assaulted the idea of autonomy and visual mastery, Rosalind Krauss abandons the historian's voice of objective detachment and forges a new style of writing in this book: art history that insinuates diary and art theory, and that has the gait and tone of fiction.The Optical UnconsciousÂwill be deeply vexing to modernism's standard-bearers, and to readers who have accepted the foundational principles on which their aesthetic is based. Krauss also gives us the story that Alfred Barr, Meyer Shapiro, and Clement Greenberg repressed, the story of a small, disparate group of artists who defied modernism's most cherished self-descriptions, giving rise to an unruly, disruptive force that persistently haunted the field of modernism from the 1920s to the 1950s and continues to disrupt it today.In order to understand why modernism had to repress the optical unconscious, Krauss eavesdrops on Roger Fry in the salons of Bloomsbury, and spies on the toddler John Ruskin as he amuses himself with the patterns of a rug; we find her in the living room of Clement Greenberg as he complains about "smart Jewish girls with their typewriters" in the 1960s, and in colloquy with Michael Fried about Frank Stella's love of baseball. Along the way, there are also narrative encounters with Freud, Jacques Lacan, Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois, Gilles Deleuze, and Jean-François Lyotard.To embody this optical unconscious, Krauss turns to the pages of Max Ernst's collage novels, to Marcel Duchamp's hypnoticÂRotoreliefs, to Eva Hesse's luminous sculptures, and to Cy Twombly's, Andy Warhol's, and Robert Morris's scandalous decoding of Jackson Pollock's drip pictures as "Anti-Form." These artists introduced a new set of values into the field of twentieth-century art, offering ready-made images of obsessional fantasy in place of modernism's intentionality and unexamined compulsions. pp. 366 illusts #290126 (name on ffep) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.

Hardcover. Laminated boards. Condition: FINE. PHILOSOPHY ART -For all of its iconoclasm, the Dada spirit was not without repression, and the Dadamovement was not without misogynist tendencies. Indeed, the word Dada evokes the idea of the male--both as father and as domineering authority. Thus female colleagues were to be seen not heard, nurturers not usurpers, pleasant not disruptive.This book is the first to make the case that women's changing role in European and American society was critical to Dada. Debates about birth control andsuffrage, a declining male population and expanding female workforce, the emergence of the NewWoman, and Freudianism were among the forces that contributed to the Dadaist enterprise. Among thefemale dadaists discussed are the German à migrà Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven; Berlindadaist Hannah Hà ch; French dadaists Juliette Roche and Suzanne Duchamp; Zurich dadaists SophieTaeuber and Emmy Hennings; expatriate poet and artist Mina Loy; the "Queen of Greenwich Village,"Clara Tice; Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, the lesbian couple who ran The Little Review; andBeatrice Wood, who died in 1998 at the age of 105. The book also addresses issues of colonialist racism, cross-dressing and dandyism, and the gendering of the machine. The bibliography was compiled by the International Dada Archive (Timothy Shipe and Rudolf E. Kuenzli).Contributors : Eleanor S.Apter, Barbara J. Bloemink, Willard Bohn, Carolyn Burke, William A.
