About This Item
Museum of Modern Art, 1991. Trade paperback. Very Good. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. "Published on the occasion of the exhibition Art of the Forties, organized by Riva Castleman, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs and Director, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, February 24-April 30, 1991". Forties art is customarily described as an expression of disintegration, but in his essay on this collection of work from the Museum of Modern Art, Guy Davenport turns that view upside down. The pieces represented here, whether Calder or Klee, Tupperware or furniture, represent, according to him, not disintegration but integration - of Europe and America, craft and art, high culture and low. As such they also represent a triumph of the human spirit in the most turbulent decade of modern history.
