ASHTON, DORE. A Fable Of Modern Art.
Thames and Hudson, London: 1980. 0500233012 / 9780500233016 First Edition (Unstated). h Hardcover with dustjacket in protective mylar cover. Good condition.
Dore Ashton's masterly analysis of modern art revolves around a number of clues, the most significant and persistent of which is provided by Balzac's brilliant and little know 'philosophic' story The Unknown Masterpiece, with its unexpected pointers towards Cezanne, Picasso and the abstract expressionists. This 'fable' is discussed not only within the context from which it emerged - early nineteenth-century romanticism - but also in relation to its embodiment of various attitudes art. Rilke, Schoenberg and Kandinsky are also drawn upon to illuminate the artist's yearning to express the inexpressible, to make the abstract concrete: Rilke's fascination with angelism, Schoenberg's absorption with Swedenborgianism, th influence of theosophy on Kandinsky. Includes an Index.
