Since the period of the waning of Modernism over the past forty years, we have become increasingly aware of the advent of an environmental crisis of almost unimaginable proportions. Given also the breathtaking advances in biology, particularly genetics, over the past few decades, and hotly debated political issues such as the ethics of stem-cell research, we are increasingly reminded of issues of the definition and control of life and the central role played by the life sciences. With the requirement, therefore, to rethink our relationship with what we have since the Enlightenment termed the "natural," the editors think it imperative that we gain a better understanding of the ways in which attitudes towards "nature" and "life" shaped our culture and in which ways they helped form modernity and engender Modernism. It is widely assumed that Modernist culture had little interest in or even awareness of this looming crisis, or even of "nature" as such. Yet a closer examination of almost any genre of Modernist artistic and cultural production reveals an active interest in the categories of "life," the "organic," and even the destruction of the environment in modernity. While as citizens, we might take an active role in dealing with today's environmental problems, as historians, it is not necessarily our job to address them, but it is our role to address the history of the developing awareness of these crises. Clearly, the closely related histories of biology and the life sciences on the one hand, and of environmentalism on the other, are central to this task. However, cultural history, including its components such as visual studies, art and architectural history and the history of urban planning, also has an important role to play in this regard, particularly within a context in which there has been such wilful ignorance of an aspect of our common cultural inheritance. A denial of an awareness of our place in "nature" among the Moderns may act as a justification for

While many historical accounts of Antipodean modernism stress its distance from French avant-garde sources, this generation of refugees and emigres brought local practitioners into direct contact with aspects of the modernist endeavour. In particular, these refugees and emigres introduced an approach to modernism that was cross- disciplinary and derived its inspiration from a systematic approach to arts education. This conception tended to highlight the common elements between art, design and architecture.While there have been numerous, individual studies of this generation, this paper foreshadows a much larger research project that aims to link these individual histories into one coherent study. In this paper we offer an indicative sample of a select number of case studies in order to highlight some of these common...

Comprising a series of essays by an international group of scholars in the fields of art history and literary and cultural studies, the volume addresses the intellectual discussions and artistic developments arising in the context of the expressionist movement in the various art centers and cultural regions. The authors also examine the implications of expressionism in artistic practice and its influence on modern and contemporary cultural production.
Essential for an in-depth understanding and discussion of expressionism, this volume opens up new perspectives on developments in the visual arts of this period and challenges the traditional narratives that have predominantly focused on artistic styles and national movements.
Im Gegensatz zur weitverbreiteten Auffassung vom nachahmenden Charakter der russischen Kunst öffnet der Band den Blick für die ihr eigene Vitalität, die spätestens seit den revolutionären Experimenten der russischen Avantgarde impulsgebend für innovative Praktiken der internationalen Kunstszene geworden ist.
Abstract art takes many different forms, but there are shared key structural features centered on two basic relations to nature. The first abstracts from nature, to give selected aspects of it a new and extremely unfamiliar appearance. The second affirms a natural creativity that issues in new, autonomous forms that are not constrained by mimetic conventions. (Such creativity is often attributed to the power of the unconscious.)
The book covers three categories: classical modernism (Mondrian, Malevich, Kandinsky, Arp, early American abstraction); post-war abstraction (Pollock, Still, Newman, Smithson, Noguchi, Arte Povera, Michaux, postmodern developments); and the broader historical and philosophical scope.
scholarship and put into question a range of terms, definitions, and
points of view that have long been established in the history of art and
visual culture of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The tenth
workshop of the Russian(?) Art & Culture Group takes this as a point
of departure to facilitate a critical discussion with the aim to find
appropriate terms, approaches, and strategies that give new insights
into Imperial Russian and Soviet art and culture and will contribute to
these ongoing debates about the future of art historical scholarship in
this particular geography.
The workshop is guided by a critical reconsideration of the term
“Russian” in relation to the study of Imperial Russian and Soviet art
and culture. It reflects on key issues such as re-readings and reevaluations
of Russo-centric narratives, the re-definition of cultures in
the territory of the former Soviet Union, blind spots and marginalized
areas of knowledge, as well as the entanglements and responsibilities
of scholarship in light of the ongoing war.
