Clement Greenberg (1909-1994) was a colossus of twentieth-century
American art, achieving a degree of authority almost unimaginable
for a critic today. For more than thirty years he was both lionized
as a proponent of formalism and criticized for his perceived
dogmatism. In the postwar period Greenberg used his position of
influence to advocate the importance of abstract expressionism and
color-field painting and to establish the careers of such artists
as Jackson Pollock, Hans Hofmann, Barnett Newman, and Willem de
Kooning. With the coming of pop art, performance and conceptual
art, and postmodernism, however, Greenberg found his position
increasingly challenged. Edited with an introduction by critic
Robert C. Morgan, Clement Greenberg, Late Writings "is the first
collection from the period 1970 to 1990, and the only comprehensive
resource for Greenberg's thought during the last third of his life.
While earlier works have covered Greenberg's early and middle
career, this volume spans his mature period, during which he
reevaluates and refines many of his earlier tenets in some of his
most carefully crafted and engaging work. Exploring a surprising
breadth of issues and mediums and demonstrating a depth of
aesthetic and philosophical insights, in these relatively unknown
works Greenberg incites a new direction for modernism beyond the
twentieth century. This essential volume includes five interviews
from the end of his life in which Greenberg revisits some of the
concerns of his formative years, illuminating the progression of
his thought. Late Writings" is an integral resource as issues of
quality and significance in the dynamic world of art continue to be
redefined. Clement Greenberg was the most influential art critic of
the postwar period. He was the author of numerous books, and his
essays appeared in art magazines as well as such publications as
"Partisan Review, Commentary, "and "The Nation." Robert C. Morgan
is the author of "The End of the Art World" and of a monograph on
the optical painter Vasarely. In addition to his work as a critic,
artist, art historian, and curator, he is visiting professor of art
at Hunter College in New York City.
