Originally published in 1998, Easels of Utopia presents a
discussion of art's duration and contingency within the avant
garde's aesthetic parameters, which throughout this century have
constructed, influenced, and informed our definitions of modernity.
In this context the book reads Umberto Boccioni's Futurism as
reminiscent of Thomist realism; proposes Caravaggism's historical
relevance to the election of individuality in post-war realism; and
draws the readers attention to the aesthetic implications in Carlo
Carra's metaphysical art and its reappraisal of the early
Renaissance. Following a contextual analysis of the historic
avant-garde in Part One, Part Two presents parallel discussions of
Italian and British questions, articulated by the works of Marino
Marini, Francis Bacon, Renato Guttuso and Stanley Spencer in their
return to individuality within art's aesthetic construct. The
author argues that this initiates a return to 'lost' beginnings
where form seeks knowledge, content regains an ability to
anarchize, and art recognizes its contingent condition.
