Painting as Model by Yve-Alain Bois
Informed by both structuralism and poststructuralism, these essays by art critic and historian Yve Alain Bois seek to redefine the status of theory in modernist critical discourse. Warning against the uncritical adoption of theoretical fashions and equally against the a priori rejection of all theory, Bois argues that theory is best employed in response to the specific demands of a critical problem. The essays lucidly demonstrate the uses of various theoretical approaches in conjunction with close reading of both paintings and texts.
Yve-Alain Bois studied under Roland Barthes and Hubert Damisch at the École des Hautes Etudes. Bois is a professor in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, and is the founder of the French journal Macula.
