Over the past two decades institutionally dominant art history has been strongly influenced by the theory and practice of deconstruction. While many art historians have embraced deconstruction as a productive means of unsettling and remotivating standard forms of art historical discourse, others have raised concerns over what they see as a widespread departure from the most basic tenets of art historical discourse; that is to say, not only the belief that there is a circumscribed category of aesthetic experience (art), but also that it is possible to arrive at a truthful representation of the relationship between works of art and the circumstances of their production and intial reception (history). Moreover, many of those same commentators have railed against the way in which this departure can be understood to have suspended any sense of a stable, structural connection between a historical is and a present ought; in other words, the notion that a truthful understanding of past events has the potential to inform ethico-political activity in the here and now. Our intention here is to problematize this apparent schism by demonstrating that art historical discourse has drawn the very possibility of its continuing conceptuality since Antiquity from a chronic and, for the most part, unconscious deconstructive interaction between the signifying ‘texts’ of art history and what might be seen as the various material, social and intellectual forces pertaining to the wider historical ‘contexts’ of their production and reception. Thus, we will have attempted to show that deconstruction is indivisible from continuing discursive attempts to arrive at a ‘truthful’ understanding of the past. In addition to this we will also attempt to show - with reference both to the writings of Jacques Derrida and a Duchampian inheritance in the visual arts - that it is possible to develop deconstructive forms of historical narrative through which we might engage critically with questions of ‘ethico-political’ value. iii Some Notes on the Use of the Term ‘Disciplinary Art History’ In this dissertation the term ‘disciplinary art history’ is used to denote the academic practices associated with the development of our understanding of the history of the visual arts and architecture as they have developed within the Western academic tradition. Its frame of reference therefore relates largely to writings emerging from within Western or Westernized cultural contexts. Indeed, while this dissertation cites texts first written in a variety of languages other than English under the collective title of ‘disciplinary art history’ its principal focus is in practice limited still further to a consideration of art history as it has developed in relation to an anglophone academic milieu. Consequently, while the term ‘disciplinary art history’ is used here without any consistent form of qualification it should be read throughout as referring to a somewhat limited, though not impermeable, set of cultural/linguistic circumstances. This dissertation’s field of vision is then, despite the wide-ranging nature of its contents, a fragmentary one whose associated conclusions are far from being claimed as definitive. Nevertheless it is, one hopes, a considered attempt to imagine an art historical discourse chronically enmeshed with the profoundly challenging dynamics of deconstructive play. iv Acknowledgments The writing of this dissertation would have been impossible without the support and understanding of my wife, Lynne and my daughter, Alicia. One can only guess at the level of frustration that they have endured over the past few years. I also owe a significant debt of gratitude to my supervisor Professor Richard Cardwell and others within the department of Critical Theory at the University of Nottingham who have supported a highly unorthodox pupil with patience and good humour. I should also like to thank my employers, North Warwickshire and Hinckley College, for their financial contribution to my studies. I would also like to acknowledge John Robert’s contibution to the development of this dissertation. He has provided, through the example of his writings and his conversation, a constant provocation that has forced me to think more deeply about what is at stake in relation to contemporary art historical discourse. v ‘Past’ The Dying Language The names of minerals and the minerals themselves do not differ from each other, because at the bottom of both the material and the print is the beginning of an abysmal number of fissures. Words and rocks contain a language that follows a syntax of splits and ruptures. Look at any word long enough and you will see it open up into a series of faults, into a terrain of particles each containing its own void. The Wreck of Former Boundaries The Strata of the Earth is a jumbled museum. Embedded in the sediment is a text that contains limits and boundaries which evade the rational order, and social structures which confine art. In order to read the rocks we must become conscious of geologic time, and of layers of prehistoric material that is entombed in the earth’s crust. When one scans the ruined sites of prehistory one sees a heap of wrecked maps that upsets our present art historical limits. A rubble of logic confronts the viewer as he looks into the levels of the sedimentations. The abstract grids containing the raw matter are observed as something incomplete broken and shattered. - Robert Smithson1 1 From “A Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects” by Robert Smithson, first published in Artforum, New York, September 1968, reprinted in N. Holt ed., The Writings of Robert Smithson, New York, 1979, pp. 82-91. vi ‘Present’ Working from life is working from memory: the artist can only put down what remains in his head after looking. And the time between the instant when he looks at the model and the instant later when he looks at the paper or canvas or clay to copy what he has just seen might as well be an eternity. The model can go on standing still for ever, but the work will none the less be the product of an accumulation of memories none of which is quite the same as any other, because each of them is affected by what has gone before, by the continually changing relation between all that has already been put down and the next glance at the model. And it is not merely because of the necessity to look away from the model to look at the paper, canvas, clay that, as soon as we try to copy what is seen, it was seen: it is also because our mind has to get outside the sensation before we can copy it, our very awareness of having a sensation pushes it into the past, for we cannot think about our present thought, it slips away as we try and grasp. The artist can never get there, whether he works from nature and builds up an accumulation of memories modifying and contradicting one another, or whether he works from memory and constructs a synthesis of what he remembers having seen. Giacometti’s work lays naked the despair known to every artist who has tried to copy what he sees. At the time it is an affirmation that there is a hard core which remains from all that has been seen and that this can be stabilised, this can be saved, this can be rendered as if indestructible. - David Sylvester2 2 From Looking at Giacometti by David Sylvester, Chatto and Windus, London, 1994. This extract reprinted in “The Sunday Review” of The Independent newspaper, London, 9th October 1994, p.18. vii ‘Future’ The Pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state, and an attempt to point out the direction of the future, without arriving there completely. - Jackson Pollock3 I think that great work…is chameleon. That it’s chameleon for whatever cultures come after it. If its going to sustain itself or be beneficial to people, it has to be able to adapt somehow and have meaning for them.

The two-hour performance, during which the artist stood motionless as a number of snails explored her face, body and hair, engaged with concerns of spectacle, abjection and female identity now familiar from Coogan’s practice. The artist has also explicitly acknowledged the relationship between self-portraiture and the use of the body in performance art; Snails investigates this territory through aspects of both the staging of the performance and its subsequent documentation. However a further significant aspect of this piece is its acknowledgment of the earlier work of Alice Maher, whether in terms of similar concerns with abjection and identity or the role of both the art historical canon and the representation of the self. In this paper the acknowledgment of feminist precedent is investigated through the notion of femmage, a term here appropriated to signify the recognition of the influential role of earlier women practitioners, yet here identified also as situated within a history of the politics of the Irish female body since the 1980s.

  • HARD FACTS and SOFT SPECULATION Thierry De Duve
    THE STORY OF FOUNTAIN: HARD FACTS AND SOFT SPECULATION Thierry de Duve ABSTRACT Thierry de Duve’s essay is anchored to the one and perhaps only hard fact that we possess regarding the story of Fountain: its photo in The Blind Man No. 2, triply captioned “Fountain by R. Mutt,” “Photograph by Alfred Stieglitz,” and “THE EXHIBIT REFUSED BY THE INDEPENDENTS,” and the editorial on the facing page, titled “The Richard Mutt Case.” He examines what kind of agency is involved in that triple “by,” and revisits Duchamp’s intentions and motivations when he created the fictitious R. Mutt, manipulated Stieglitz, and set a trap to the Independents. De Duve concludes with an invitation to art historians to abandon the “by” questions (attribution, etc.) and to focus on the “from” questions that arise when Fountain is not seen as a work of art so much as the bearer of the news that the art world has radically changed. KEYWORDS, Readymade, Fountain, Independents, Stieglitz, Sanitary pottery Then the smell of wet glue! Mentally I was not spelling art with a capital A. — Beatrice Wood1 No doubt, Marcel Duchamp’s best known and most controversial readymade is a men’s urinal tipped on its side, signed R. Mutt, dated 1917, and titled Fountain. The 2017 centennial of Fountain brought us a harvest of new books and articles on the famous or infamous urinal. I read most of them in the hope of gleaning enough newly verified facts to curtail my natural tendency to speculate. But newly verified facts are few and far between.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

Guggenheim Museum, New York The Museum of Fine Arts of Houston March 8 to April 8 Printed in Switzerland by StSmprli & Cie., Berne, 1956. Foreword There is one feature which is strikingly characteristic of the art of the three brothers Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp -Villon and Marcel Duchamp. Juan Gris, the most rationalistic, ' but at the same time one of the greatest of the cubist painters, used to say : One must be inexact, but precise.' This is one of the essential qualities of poetry. It is what gives the effect of poetry to painting and sculpture. It is the common factor—perhaps the only one— which links the very dissimilar work of these markedly different artists. At the same time, however, this maintenance of the 'inexact, but precise' in the art of these three brothers has its roots in a basic similarity of approach. Each in his own way sought to work out a tightly reasoned mode of pictorial or sculptural expression. Each seemed particularly careful to avoid any concession on his part to the emotions. Art for all three was fundamentally intellectual, scientific and only secondarily sensuous. Jacques Villon saw painting as 'a method of prospecting, a manner of expression.

  • Marcel Duchamp, French Dada Artist, Whose Small but Controversial Output Exerted a Strong Influence on the Development of 20Th-Century Avant-Garde Art
    Marcel Duchamp, French Dada artist, whose small but controversial output exerted a strong influence on the development of 20th-century avant-garde art. Born on July 28, 1887, in Blainville, brother of the artist Raymond Duchamp-Villon and half brother of the painter Jacques Villon, Duchamp began to paint in 1908. After producing several canvases in the current mode of Fauvism, he turned toward experimentation and the avant-garde, producing his most famous work, Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 (Philadelphia Museum of Art) in 1912; portraying continuous movement through a chain of overlapping cubistic figures, the painting caused a furor at New York City's famous Armory Show in 1913. He painted very little after 1915, although he continued until 1923 to work on his masterpiece, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1923, Philadelphia Museum of Art), an abstract work, also known as The Large Glass, composed in oil and wire on glass, that was enthusiastically received by the surrealists. In sculpture, Duchamp pioneered two of the main innovations of the 20th century kinetic art and ready-made art. His "ready-mades" consisted simply of everyday objects, such as a urinal and a bottle rack. His Bicycle Wheel (1913, original lost; 3rd version, 1951, Museum of Modern Art, New York City), an early example of kinetic art, was mounted on a kitchen stool. After his short creative period, Duchamp was content to let others develop the themes he had originated; his pervasive influence was crucial to the development of surrealism, Dada, and pop art. Duchamp became an American citizen in 1955.

  • Milk Bottle (Boîte À Lait) Oil on Cradled Panel
    Jacques Villon (Damville 1875 - Pueaux 1963) Milk Bottle (Boîte à lait) Oil on cradled panel. Signed and dated Jacques Villon / 12 at the lower left. 223 x 169 mm. (8 3/4 x 6 5/8 in.) Painted in the same year as the inaugural exhibition of the Section d’Or in 1912, this small painting dates to the very beginning of Villon’s interest in Cubist methods. Unlike his paintings and prints of 1911 or even the early part of 1912, in which the subject is readily evident, this painting is one of the first works by Villon in which the object depicted - a milk bottle, painted with faceted planes of colour - is not immediately apparent. A related painting of the same year, of nearly identical dimensions and closely related to the present work in style, technique and tonality, depicts a cow in profile, as seen on the label of a bottle of milk. Above the cow is a semicircular sign, which could be that of a shop, and the letters ITE, which must be part of the sign LAITERIE. As Douglas Cooper and Gary Tinterow have written, ‘Towards the end of his life, Villon referred to himself as ‘the Impressionist Cubist’ and this description is apposite because...a play of light and luminous tonalities were characteristic features of his work...He made a limited use of the technique of facetting and progressively evolved, under the combined influences of Gleizes and Delaunay, a style based on fragmented forms and a succession of overlapping planes of colour used to evoke volume and a sense of space.’ Provenance: Acquired from the artist by Louis Carré, Paris By descent to his wife, Olga Burel Carré, Bazoches-sur-Guyon Her posthumous sale, Paris, Hôtel Drouot, 3 July 2003, lot 4 Private collection, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, until 2011.

  • Intentions: Logical and Subversive the Art of Marcel Duchamp, Concept Visualization, and Immersive Experience
    Intentions: Logical and Subversive The Art of Marcel Duchamp, Concept Visualization, and Immersive Experience Abstract This paper examines the intersection of symbolic logic, immersive experience [VR] and concept visualization in the interpretation of the oeuvre of Marcel Duchamp. Influenced by the mathematicians Henri Poincaré and Élie Jouffret as well as his own intense practice of chess and logic, Duchamp sought to merge the poetic and visceral nature of the aesthetic experience with the logical and systematic character of science. This convolution of elements as disparate as chance, 3d and 4d space-time, linguistics, logic and authorship does not allow for comfortable definitive explanation but rather one, like his work itself, that engages simultaneous multi- dimensional thinking. Duchamp questioned the purpose of ‘retinal art’, art which is merely visually beautiful, and examined the limitations of science as a singular method of interpreting and communicating experience. The body of his work stands as a systematic yet playful critique of deterministic reasoning. Using symbolic logic to characterize the most common interpretations of Duchamp’s work, the author suggests that Concept Visualization in 3d immersive experience offers a unique method for exploring and introducing the complex lattices of interpretation, intention and concept in the work of Marcel Duchamp. Introduction click to enlarge Figure 1 Marcel Duchamp, Rotorelief (Optical Disks), 1935 Marcel Duchamp perhaps more than any other artist in history challenged the definition of art. Throughout his life Duchamp maintained an interest in science, mathematics, optics and art and more than any other eminent artist of the twentieth century understood and researched non-Euclidean geometry and the mathematics of higher dimensionality.
