In recent years, many prominent and successful artists have claimed
that their primary concern is not the artwork they produce but the
artistic process itself. In this volume, Kim Grant analyzes this
idea and traces its historical roots, showing how changing concepts
of artistic process have played a dominant role in the development
of modern and contemporary art. This astute account of the ways in
which process has been understood and addressed examines canonical
artists such as Monet, Cezanne, Matisse, and De Kooning, as well as
philosophers and art theorists such as Henri Focillon, R. G.
Collingwood, and John Dewey. Placing "process art" within a larger
historical context, Grant looks at the changing relations of the
artist's labor to traditional craftsmanship and industrial
production, the status of art as a commodity, the increasing
importance of the body and materiality in art making, and the
nature and significance of the artist's role in modern society. In
doing so, she shows how process is an intrinsic part of aesthetic
theory that connects to important contemporary debates about work,
craft, and labor. Comprehensive and insightful, this synthetic
study of process in modern and contemporary art reveals how
artists' explicit engagement with the concept fits into a broader
narrative of the significance of art in the industrial and
postindustrial world.
This 2005 study traces the development of Surrealist theory of
visual art and its reception, from the birth of Surrealism to its
institutionalization in the mid-1930s. Situating Surrealist art
theory in its theoretical and discursive contexts, Kim Grant
demonstrates the complex interplay between Surrealism and
contemporary art criticism. She examines the challenge to
Surrealist art raised by the magazine Cahiers d'Art, which promoted
a group of young painters dedicated to a liberated and poetic
painting process that was in keeping with the formalist evolution
of modern art. Grant also discusses the centrality of visual art in
Surrealism as a material manifestation of poetry, the significance
of poetry in French theories of modern art, and the difficulties
faced by an avant-garde art movement at a time when contemporary
audiences had come to expect revolutionary innovation.
