Description
This ground-breaking new history of modern art explores the relationship between art and knowledge from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day.
Each chapter examines artistic responses to a particular discipline of knowledge, from quantum theory and theosophy to cybernetics and ethnic futurisms.
The authors argue that art’s incursion into other intellectual disciplines is a defining characteristic of both modernism and postmodernism.
Throughout, the volume poses a series of larger questions: is art a source of knowledge?
If so, what kind of knowledge? And, ultimately, can it contribute to our understanding of the world in ways that thinkers from other fields should take seriously? -- .
