Compulsive Beauty

Informationen zum Autor Hal Foster is Townsend Martin '17 Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University and the author of Prosthetic Gods (MIT Press) and other books. Klappentext Surrealism has long been seen as its founder, Andre Breton, wanted it to be seen: as a movement of love and liberation. In "Compulsive Beauty," Foster reads surrealism from its other, darker side: as an art given over to the uncanny, to the compulsion to repeat and the drive toward death."Compulsive Beauty" not only offers a deconstructive reading of surrealism, long neglected by Anglo-American art history, it also participates in a postmodern reconsideration of modernism, the dominant accounts of which have obscured its involvements in desire and trauma, capitalist shock and technological development. Zusammenfassung In Compulsive Beauty! Foster reads surrealism from its other! darker side: as an art given over to the uncanny! to the compulsion to repeat and the drive toward death.
