Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts is the first book to
comprehensively assess Beckett's knowledge of art, art history and
art criticism. In his lifetime Beckett thought deeply about visual
culture from ancient Egyptian statuary to Dutch realism, from
Quattrocento painting to the modernists and after. Drawing on a
wide range of published and unpublished sources, this book traces
in forensic detail the development of Beckett's understanding of
painting in particular, as that understanding developed from the
late 1920s to the 1970s. In doing so it demonstrates that Beckett's
thinking about art and aesthetics radically changes in the course
of his life, often directly responding to the intellectual and
historical contexts in which he found himself. Moving fluently
between art history, philosophy, literary analysis and historical
context, Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts rethinks the trajectory
of Beckett's career, and reorients his relationship to modernism,
late modernism and the avant-gardes.
