This ground-breaking new history of modern art explores the
relationship between art and knowledge from the beginning of the
twentieth century to the present day. Each chapter examines
artistic responses to a particular discipline of knowledge, from
quantum theory and theosophy to cybernetics and ethnic futurisms.
The authors argue that art’s incursion into other intellectual
disciplines is a defining characteristic of both modernism and
postmodernism. Throughout, the volume poses a series of larger
questions: is art a source of knowledge? If so, what kind of
knowledge? And, ultimately, can it contribute to our understanding
of the world in ways that thinkers from other fields should take
seriously? -- .
