This volume contains most of the papers given at a colloquium held
at the Institute in 1997. It provides a study of the concept of
composition in European art and art literature from the middle ages
to the early 20th-century. Some authors are concerned to show the
extent to which writers on art before 1880 would have been able to
think of a work of art in the terms put forward by modernist
theorists like Maurice Denis, Wassily Kandinsky and Clement
Greenberg, as a flat surface, covered with colours, lines and forms
arranged in an aesthetically pleasing way. Other authors aim to
show how artists and theorists conceived of composition before the
modern period, by describing some of the implications and
connotations of the concept within a broader field of political and
religious meanings.
