The phenomenon of interruption in the visual arts: a comparison of works by Daniel Libeskind, Gerhard Richter, and Ilya Kabakov - Wendy Koenig
Call Number: 709.22 K81p
Koenig (art history, North Central College, Illinois) explores how three late-20th-century artists use visual forms that are difficult for the eye to make out, that are impossible to bring into focus or resistant to conventional methods of interpretation, or that jolt or disquiet the viewer by not carrying through with what they initially seemed to promise. She focuses on architect Libeskind's Jewish Museum Berlin, painter Richter's October 18, 1977, and installation artist Kabakov's "Total."
