The Body in Pieces
A text taken from the Walter Neurath Memorial Lecture. The origins and developments of what is perhaps the essential characteristic of modern art - the fragmented image - is traced in this book. Works ranging from the Neo-classical movement to the present day are illustrated and analyzed.
The Fragment
The universe may well have begun with an immense act of fragmentation, "the big bang," that sent particles flying in all directions to perform spectacular acts of creation and destruction. The fragment, volatile and unpredictable, is not simply the static part of a once-whole thing but itself something in motion. Drawing upon art history, archaeology, literature, numismatics, philosophy, and film, this book explores the significance of the fragment and addresses the powerful drives that have impelled it into the cultural mainstream.
