Demonstrates the central role of Bergson for modernist art and
intellectual history in the UK Brings to light new evidence of
British artists' direct engagement with Bergson, opening new
avenues of research and interpretation for the artists Vanessa
Bell, Duncan Grant, John Duncan Fergusson, and artist-writers Roger
Fry and Wyndham Lewis Based on archival material in Paris and US
not previously accessed? (Biblioteque Jacques Doucet, Isabella
Gardner Museum, Boston and Wyndham Lewis' marginalia in his
editions of Bergson's texts at The University of Texas at Austin),
in addition to primary sources in UK (Universities of Cambridge,
Edinburgh, London, and Strathclyde), and US (Universities of
Cornell and Texas at Austin) Changes art history's standard
readings of these artists as the evidence of their knowledge of and
engagement with Bergson is irrefutable Explores concepts of
duration, intuition, creativity; the image and perception as they
were formulated by Bergson and understood by his contemporaries
Demonstrates Bergson's relevance to key problematics for Art
History: temporality, intuition, subjectivity, representation, the
image. Charlotte de Mille shows that the reception of the
philosophy of Henri Bergson by British artists and critics was far
more wide spread and of far greater importance in the UK than has
been previously thought. Based on archival material in Paris and
the US, not all previously accessed, along with primary UK sources,
she opens new avenues of research and interpretation on the work of
artists Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, John Duncan Fergusson and
artist-writers Roger Fry and Wyndham Lewis. De Mille demonstrates
the profound impact of Bergson's work in UK culture immediately
prior to World War One. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates
philosophy, art criticism and art history. An Epilogue considers
the proximity of Bergson's thought on temporality, perception,
intuition and subjectivity to art history, from Alois Riegl and Aby
Warburg, to practitioners today.
