Book Synopsis Art for Art's Sake & Literary Life by : Gene H. Bell-Villada
Download or read book Art for Art's Sake & Literary Life written by Gene H. Bell-Villada and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art for Art's Sake and Literary Life is a dynamic history of literary aestheticism from the eighteenth century to academic deconstruction in our own time. Gene H. Bell-Villada examines an enormous range of writings by critics, philosophers, and writers from Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Uniting all is his conviction that "there are concrete social, economic, political, and cultural reasons for the emergence, growth, diffusion, and triumph of l'art pour l'art over the past two centuries." Bell-Villada begins by considering how such thinkers as Shaftesbury, Kant, and Schiller described beauty as a phenomenon to be weighed not in isolation from other aspects of our existence but as part of our general development as human beings. He recounts how the original vision of Kant and Schiller was simplified and debased within new cultural, political, and economic contexts, leading to the "aesthetic separatism" promoted by lyric poets in France. Bell-Villada then examines how the ideology of Art for Art's Sake took on new forms in Europe and the Americas, culminating in present-day versions associated with the academicization (and ever greater marginalization) of literature. Artfully combining an exceptional amount of learning with a sharp polemical focus, Art for Art's Sake and Literary Life will appeal to a wide range of scholars and general readers for whom literature, aesthetics, and the relations of culture and society are vitally important matters.
Download or read book Zero Zone written by Scott O'Connor and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary thriller about an infamous desert art installation, the cult it inspired, and the search for a missing young woman that is “cinematic . . . readers will be compelled to start again at page one to discover how O’Connor pieces together his suspenseful, incredibly well–written narrative” (Library Journal, starred review). Los Angeles, the late 1970s: Jess Shepard is an installation artist who creates environments that focus on light and space, often leading to intense sensory experiences for visitors to her work. A run of critically lauded projects peaks with Zero Zone, an installation at the once upon a time site of nuclear bomb testing in the New Mexico desert. But when a small group of travelers experience what they perceive as a religious awakening inside Zero Zone, they barricade themselves in the installation until authorities are forced to intervene. That violent showdown becomes a media sensation, and its aftermath follows Jess wherever she goes. Devastated by the attack and the distortion of her art, Jess retreats from the world. Unable to work, Jess unravels mentally and emotionally, plagued by a nagging uncertainty as to her culpability for what happened. Three years later, a survivor from Zero Zone comes looking for Jess, who must move past her self imposed isolation to face down her fears and recover her art and possibly her life from a violent cult intent of making it their own.

Book Synopsis The Art of Cruelty by : Maggie Nelson
Download or read book The Art of Cruelty written by Maggie Nelson and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is criticism at its best." —Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times Writing in the tradition of Susan Sontag and Elaine Scarry, Maggie Nelson has emerged as one of our foremost cultural critics with this landmark work about representations of cruelty and violence in art. From Sylvia Plath’s poetry to Francis Bacon’s paintings, from the Saw franchise to Yoko Ono’s performance art, Nelson’s nuanced exploration across the artistic landscape ultimately offers a model of how one might balance strong ethical convictions with an equally strong appreciation for work that tests the limits of taste, taboo, and permissibility.

Download or read book Art for Life's Sake written by Charles Henry Caffin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art for Life's Sake: An Application of the Principles, of Art to the Ideals and Conduct of Individual, and Collective Life This book is a product of some fifteen years experience as a lecturer on art, especially the art of painting. John Addington Symonds remarked more than a quarter of a century ago, "Painting has lost its hold upon the center of our intellectual activity. It can no longer give form to the ideas that rule the modem world." Since these words were written the ideas have continued to deepen and to expand until they consciously embrace the making-over of society, economically, intellectually, and spiritually, in order to realize more fully the possibilities of democracy. In the evolution of this New Democracy the arts will continue to play their necessary and beautiful part; especially the arts of music and of poetry and the literature and drama of life. But in the presence of forces so varied and mighty as are moving the thought and action of today, no one of the arts nor all of them can ever again supply a form, commensurate with our ideals. They will continue to furnish inspiration and example; but the form, big enough to express the gathering ideal of Human Betterment, can be no less big than Life itself.

Book Synopsis Art For Art's Sake by : Howard Scharber
Download or read book Art For Art's Sake written by Howard Scharber and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in 'art for art's sake, to its sensational conclusion, the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an element of design. The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.

Book Synopsis Callimachus and His Critics by : Alan Cameron
Download or read book Callimachus and His Critics written by Alan Cameron and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Callimachus has usually been seen as the archetypal ivory-tower poet, the epitome if not the inventor of the concept of art for art's sake, author of erudite works written to be read in book form by fellow poets and scholars. Abundant evidence, much of it assembled here for the first time, suggests a very different story: a world of civic festivals rather than books and libraries, a world in which poetry and poets played a central and public role. In the course of the argument, Cameron casts fresh light on the lives, dates, works, and interrelationships of most of the other leading poets of the age. Another axiom of modern scholarship is that the object of Callimachus's literary polemic was epic. Yet Cameron shows that the thriving school of epic poets celebrating the wars of Hellenistic kings that has so dominated modern study simply never existed. Elegy was the fashionable genre of the age, and the bone of contention between Callimachus and his rivals (all fellow elegists) was the nature of elegiac narrative. A final chapter sketches some of the implications of this revised view of Callimachus and his world for the interpretation of Roman, especially Augustan, poetry. Originally published in 1995.
