"This book is a tour de force by one of the foremost scholars of abstract art. Delving into a fascinating array of scientific and philosophical sources, Brandon Taylor invites us to think afresh about modern art's enduring preoccupation with dynamic processes and the becoming of forms. Across a broad range of compelling analyses, he unearths little-known gems and sheds valuable new light on canonical examples. Like the artworks that it brings into sharp focus, the argument teems with vital energy." -- Eric Robertson, Professor of Modern French Literary and Visual Culture, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK "Brandon Taylor's remarkable study of the pervasive impact of vitalist concepts of "aesthetic monism" on the interwar avant-garde is an important and timely contribution that greatly enriches our understanding of the art and culture of this complex era." -- Mark Antliff, Anne Murnick Cogan Distinguished Professor of Art and Art History, Duke University, USA, [This book] really does unite and relate science and the arts in a deeper and more meaningful way ... What is impressive about Taylor's study is that he shows the way in which art is not hived off into a separate sanctum, but both influences and draws on the elements of surrounding life, be they political, sociological, philosophical, scientific., This book is a tour de force by one of the foremost scholars of abstract art.

Synopsis
What is form in modern art? How could a work of art achieve its organic life in a world increasingly dominated by mechanism, by new technology? In this new book, Brandon Taylor proposes that biology and the life sciences themselves supplied many of the analogies and metaphors by which modern artists were guided. For the creative giants of the period - Picasso, Miró, Kandinsky, Strzeminski, Dalí, Arp, Motherwell and Pollock, as well as less-known figures such as Taeuber, Erni and Kobro - questions of 'living' form loomed large in studio conversation, in the press, and in the writings of the artists themselves. In a book rich in new research and fresh thinking, a well-known art historian proposes six modalities of organic and vital life that pervade the radical experiments of modern art: the organic , the biomorphic , the ambiguous , the monstrous , the dialectical , and the liquid ., What is form in modern art?

- i***y (712)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificada2 volumes of Pogo comic strips, new and in perfect condition. Price was good, but shipping cost ($30 for two books) seems like a lot for how long it took to get delivered (23 days from Illinois to Spain). Also, seller communication was not great. First two times I wrote, their response did not address question. Third response explained at length about the private courier service they use and how it should take 1-10 business days to deliver. Maybe they should consider a different courier service.
- o***l (313)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaThe item was described to a Tee. Very good communication. Shipping was just a little slow. The box the set of books comes in was damaged (bent corners) due to packaging. Not a deal breaker because the grand kids will not store in that box; might be if it were to be given as a present. The three books in the box arrived in prefect shape. I WOULD purchase from greatbookprices1 again in the future. ThanksConstruction Site Board Books Set, Hardcover by Rinker, Sherri Duskey; Lichte...

- r***_ (108)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificada*Same as the other review* Purchased two box sets from this seller with one being advertised as "like new" but was delivered as if it was actually new. Shipping time was a little slow, takes about 10 days to ship out and it takes a while to get through the system. But the packing was great and I'm still overall happy with my purchase.
