Critical Exchange by Juliet Simpson

This collection examines the development of art criticism across Russia and Western Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Art criticism articulated local ideas about functions of art but, more importantly, it also became one of the most responsive fields in which a larger, transnational European exchange of ideas about the role of critical discourse could take place. Art criticism of this period was also rich in rhetorical strategies and textual diversity.
International contributors to this volume, who include art historians, cultural historians, and specialists in critical and philosophical discourse, examine the emergence of art critical discourse in a variety of cultural and geo-political contexts.
«With its Franco-Russian polarity, this adventurous collection opens perspectives in nineteenth-century art criticism, provoking challenging ideas about nineteenth-century art writing across languages, economics and polemic» (Richard Thomson, Watson Gordon Professor of Fine Art, University of Edinburgh)
