This groundbreaking study explores the deep connections between
modern and premodern art, offering a radical reading that reveals
the underlying patterns and ideas traversing centuries of artistic
practice. Nagel reconsiders from an innovative double perspective
some key issues in the history of art, from iconoclasm and
illusionism to the status of painting, installation, and the museum
as institution. He examines, among other topics, why the medieval
workshop was of such importance to the Bauhaus; how the 4th-century
Jerusalem Chapel in Rome was a proto-earthwork akin to the projects
of Robert Smithson; and the relationship between medieval relics
and Duchamp's readymades. Alongside an analysis of 20th-century
medievalist theorists such as Brecht, Joyce and Eco, Nagel
considers a wide range of celebrated artists. This is a radical new
reading of art that will profoundly broaden our understanding of
both premodern practices and the art of the 20th and 21st
centuries.
