Description
Theorizing Modernism: Visual Art and the Critical Tradition by Johanna Drucker explores the changing strategies of visual arts and critical writing in modern art. This study examines the spatial metaphors used to describe modern life, as well as the writings of modernist critics on the object as a formalist construction.
The book delves into concepts of the artist as a producing subject and of the viewer as a produced subject, considering artists such as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, and Sherrie Levine. Drucker's approach reveals concerns central to the cultural production known as modern art.
