As artists push further and further beyond their, and our, comfort
zones, this book aims to help decipher the bizarre and often
intimidating aspects of modern and contemporary art by exploring
twenty works of art in terms of seven 'keys'. History, biography,
aesthetics, experience, theory, criticism and the market represent
conventional 'modes of existence' for every artwork discussed, but
in a fascinating variety of ways. Simon Morley shows how twenty
well-known but little-understood works of art can serve as useful
springboards not only for understanding each other, but also for
appreciating works by the same artists, and from the wider world of
art in general. Rather than proceeding on the basis of familiar art
'movements' or '-isms', Morley focuses on just twenty individual
works of art, from Matisse's The Red Studio to Doris Salcedo's
Untitled. Representing a variety of media, styles, subjects and
intentions, being the creations of men and women of different
periods and places, coming from disparate social and ethnic
backgrounds, these works show a rich diversity in modern and
contemporary art.
