v. : ill. ; 22 cm (original analog pub.),Kuspit, Donald, “A Critical History of 20th-Century Art.” Introduction: Twentieth Century Art: An Overview of Critical Opinion Chapter 1: New Forms for Old Feelings; The First Decade Chapter 2: Spiritualism And Nihilism; The Second Decade Chapter 3: Subjectivity and Society: The Third Decade Chapter 4: Aesthetics Against Barbarism; The Fourth Decade Chapter 5: Brave New World of American Abstract Art; The Fifth Decade Chapter 6: Mythic/Expressive Representation and Ruthless Abstraction: An Unresolvable Dialectic; The Sixth Decade Chapter 7: The Appeal of Popularity, Ideology and Theory: The Objectification of Art and the Abortive Protest of the Subject; The Seventh Decade Chapter 8: .Conflicting and Conflicted Identities: The Confusion of Self and Society; The Eighth Decade Chapter 9: Aspirational Aesthetics and Empathic Painting: The Search for Authenticity and the Rebellion Against Conceptual Pseudo-Art; The Ninth Decade Chapter 10: The Decadence Of Advanced Art And The Return Of Tradition and Beauty: The New as Tower of Conceptual Babel; The Tenth Decade :: If Art Criticism meets some of its editors’ hopes for it, we shall be able to claim the appearance of some art criticism, with subjects arising from the writers’ or editors’ decisions, rather than the art market’s. Articles on individual critics and on current groups and tendencies will lead towards the adequate history of art criticism so badly needed in relation to art and in relation to the literature of other disciplines.
