Description
Michael Fried's influential art criticism defines the contours of late modernism in the visual arts. This collection of twenty-seven pieces, including essays and reviews, continues to generate debate today with its uncompromising and impassioned writings.
Originally published between 1962 and 1977, these writings establish a set of basic terms for understanding key issues in high modernism, such as the viability of Clement Greenberg's account of modernism and the status of figuration after Pollock. Fried also critiques minimalist or literalist art, arguing that minimalism is essentially a genre of theater.
For this volume, Fried provides an extensive introductory essay, discussing how he became an art critic, his intentions in his criticism, and drawing crucial distinctions between his art criticism and the art history he went on to write. This collection offers a unique insight into the development of modernist thought and its ongoing influence.
