Summary:
The narrative of the artist's life and work is one of the oldest models in the Western literature of the visual arts. In "Art as existence", Gabriele Guercio investigates the metamorphosis of the artist's monograph, tracing its formal and conceptual trajectories from Vasari's sixteenth-century "Lives of the painters, sculptors, and architects" (which provided the model and source for the genre) through its apogee in the nineteenth century and decline in the twentieth. He looks at the legacy of the life-and-work model and considers its prospects in an intellectual universe of deconstructionism, psychoanalysis, feminism, and postcolonialism. Since Vasari, the monograph has been notable for its fluidity and variety; it can be scrupulous and exact, probing and revelatory, poetic and imaginative, or any combination of these. In the nineteenth century, the monograph combined art-historical, biographical, and critical methods, and even added elements of fiction. Guercio explores some significant books that illustrate key phases in the model's evolution, including works by Gustav Friedrich Waagen, A. C. Quatremère de Quincy, Johann David Passavant, Bernard Berenson, and others. The hidden project of the artist's monograph, Guercio claims, comes from a utopian impulse; by commuting biography into art and art into biography, the life-and-work model equates art and existence, construing otherwise distinct works of an artist as chapters of a life story. Guercio calls for a contemporary reconsideration of the life-and-work model, arguing that the ultimate legacy of the artist's monograph does not lie in its established modes of writing but in its greater project and in the intimate portrait that we gain of the nature of creativity.

Offering penetrating considerations of the prose, visual art, poetry, and carefully crafted manifestos of Futurists from Russia to Italy, Perloff reveals the Moment's impulses and operations, tracing its echoes through the years to the work of "postmodern" figures like Roland Barthes. This updated edition, with its new preface, reexamines the Futurist Moment in the light of a new century, in which Futurist aesthetics seem to have steadily more to say to the present.

Transmettre, créer : deux termes qui, dans quelque ordre qu'on les mette, résument l'équation que toute école d'art est amenée à résoudre. Un défi que cette édition revue et fortement augmentée de Faire école (1992) – un ouvrage qui n'a rien perdu de son acuité et de son actualité – pense à partir de la longue expérience de son auteur dans l'enseignement artistique. Depuis la création de l'Erg (École de recherches graphiques) en 1972, à Bruxelles, qui est ici analysée pour la première fois, jusqu'aux expériences récentes menées à l'Institut Saint-Lucas de Gand, en passant par le projet de création de l'École des beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris, brutalement interrompu en 1993, Thierry de Duve n'a cessé de militer pour des réformes de fond dans la manière de former les artistes plasticiens. Ce livre véritablement écrit analyse la transmission comme condition de la création non seulement sous l'angle de la pratique mais aussi sous celui de l'histoire. Ainsi trouvera-t-on dans ce volume l'esquisse d'une généalogie des avant-gardes articulée sur les rapports entre les artistes et le prince (Allemagne) ou la puissance publique (France), d'où l'auteur dégage deux modèles de légitimation franchement opposés – un contraste dont le pouvoir de provocation devrait de toute évidence faire débat.

During the past several decades, contemporary artists have asked critical questions about the way in which history is constructed through images, particularly those that are disseminated by the mass media. As the media has increasingly assumed the role of historiographer, there is a danger of losing the diversity of our historical narratives. Add to this the globalization of our culture, and we are faced with a potential dulling of our collective historical awareness. In Questioning History, editors Frank van der Stok, Frits Gierstberg and Flip Bool focus on different ways in which contemporary visual artists, photographers and filmmakers have constructed historical narratives through images and offer a selection of essays that examine artists' innovative challenges to prevailing historical narratives.

Summary:
In an era when technology, biology, and culture are becoming ever more closely connected, The Dada Cyborg explains how the cyborg as we know it today actually developed between 1918 and 1933 when German artists gave visual form to their utopian hopes and fantasies in a fearful response to World War I. In what could be termed a prehistory of the posthuman, Matthew Biro shows the ways in which new forms of human existence were imagined in Germany between the two world wars through depictions of cyborgs. Examining the work of Hannah Höch, Raoul Hausmann, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Otto Dix, and Rudolf Schlichter, he reveals an innovative interpretation of the cyborg as a representative of hybrid identity, as well as a locus of new modes of awareness created by the impact of technology on human perception. Tracing the prevalence of cyborgs in German avant-garde art, Biro demonstrates how vision, hearing, touch, and embodiment were beginning to be reconceived during the Weimar Republic. Biro’s unique and interdisciplinary analysis offers a substantially new account of the Berlin Dada movement, one that integrates the group’s poetic, theoretical, and performative practices with its famous visual strategies of photomontage, assemblage, and mixed-media painting to reveal radical images of a “new human.”
