The grotesque has been adopted by a succession of artists as a way to push beyond established boundaries; explore alternate modes of experience and expression; and challenge the status quo. Examining specific images by a range of artists, such as Ingres, Gauguin, H ch, de Kooning, Polke, and Mona Hatoum, these essays encompass a variety of media--including medical illustration, paintings, prints, photography, multimedia installations, and film.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51003017003281,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003020050705,"sku":"NIN9780521115766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475882471697,"sku":"NLS9780521115766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521115760.jpg?v=1786119066"},{"product_id":"grotesque-in-western-art-and-culture-book-frances-s-connelly-9781107629967","title":"The Grotesque in Western Art and Culture","description":"This book establishes a fresh and expansive view of the grotesque in Western art and culture, from 1500 to the present day. Following the non-linear evolution of the grotesque, Frances S. Connelly analyzes key works, situating them within their immediate social and cultural contexts, as well as their place in the historical tradition. By taking a long historical view, the book reveals the grotesque to be a complex and continuous tradition comprising several distinct strands: the ornamental, the carnivalesque and caricatural, the traumatic and the profound. The book articulates a model for understanding the grotesque as a rupture of cultural boundaries that compromises and contradicts accepted realities. Connelly demonstrates that the grotesque is more than a style, genre or subject; it is a cultural phenomenon engaging the central concerns of the humanistic debate today. Hybrid, ambivalent and changeful, the grotesque is a shaping force in the modern era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51020233998609,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020236062993,"sku":"NIN9781107629967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52132023042321,"sku":"NLS9781107629967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53648022569233,"sku":"GOR014991824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53648899014929,"sku":"GOR010317978","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1107629969.jpg?v=1786279983"},{"product_id":"modern-art-and-the-grotesque-book-frances-s-connelly-9780521818841","title":"Modern Art and the Grotesque","description":"Examines how the grotesque has shaped the history, practice, and theory of art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The drawbacks of such an approach have become increasingly apparent, the most problematic being its perpetuation of the notion that certain traditions are indeed \"primitive.\" Frances Connelly argues that \"primitive\" art was not a style at all, but a cultural construction by modern Europeans, a cluster of concepts principally forged during the Enlightenment concerning the nature of the origins of artistic expression. She contends that, instead of the paintings of Gauguin, the publication of Vico's \u003ci\u003eNew Science \u003c\/i\u003ein 1725 lies much closer to the origins of primitivism because it first articulated the essential framework of ideas through which Europeans would understand \"primitive\" expression. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased upon a close reading of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources, including voyage accounts, ethnographies, aesthetic theories, and popular journals,\u003ci\u003e The Sleep of Reason \u003c\/i\u003eestablishes that the term \"primitive\" art did not refer so much to actual stylistic traditions but to a collection of visual attributes that Europeans construed to be universal characteristics of \"primitive\" expression, specifically the hieroglyph, the grotesque, and the ornamental. Connelly provides case studies of artists and aestheticians who advocated, attempted, or realized the assimilation of these \"primitive\" characteristics, including some artists never before associated with primitivism as well as significant re-evaluations of Gauguin and Picasso.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53139650314513,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53139651035409,"sku":"NGR9780271013053","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780271013053.jpg?v=1786615400"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-frances-s-connelly.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
