An illustrated 100-year history of modern art, from cubism to pop and avant-guard. .

Art makes its mark upon our flesh. It ravishes our eyes, invades our ears, and stirs our viscera; it commandeers our powers of attention and unsettles our body with its strangenesses. The event of art is thus an encounter both with a sensuous object and with ourselves, exposing us as subjects strangely susceptible to being moved.The 21st-century European thinkers elucidated here describe a theory of the aesthetic subject: Irigaray articulates the basic outlines of a subject ill at ease with itself. Badiou, Nancy, and Perniola theorize art as an event of deformation that befalls an aesthetic subject fundamentally invested in form. Rancière and Sloterdijk explore the figuration of the body (and its limits) in contexts closer to everyday experience and our life within modern history and politics. This study brings together feminist, psychoanalytic, and phenomenological inheritances to describe the operations of the real in art and aesthetic life.

I think we should feel as though we are on a mission. Not a mission of sadness to save souls - they are not lost, and if they were, you wouldn't know where to look for them - but a mission that glorifies the soul. Not to find we are here for salvation, but for glorification [of] the beauty, the wonder, the delight of that Something that sings and sings and sings in the soul of humankind.
