This perspective has reigned the arts and art criticism for more than a century. The author of this challenging and erudite essay shows how the idea of progress in the arts came up A Philosophical Response to the End of the Avant-Garde and he describes the enormous retorical impact of progressive concepts. After the end of the avant-garde the idea of progress in the arts collapsed and soon philosophers like Arthur Danto Doorman Maarten proclaimed the end of art. Doorman investigates the crippling effects of postmodernism on the arts and proposes a new form of progress to understand contemporary art. Its history can still be seen as a process of accumulation: works of art comment on each other, enriching each other’s meanings. These complex interrelationships lead to progress in both the sensibility of the observer and the significance of the works of art. Art in Progress Maarten Doorman is an In the nineteenth century, the history of painting associate professor of was regarded as the paradigm of a progressive under- philosophy at the taking, and evidence that historical progress is a University of Maastricht possible ideal everywhere else.

  • The National Giro Bank Building of Victor Bourgeois
    THE NATIONAL GIRO BANK BUILDING OF VICTOR BOURGEOIS INTRODUCTION “Victor Bourgeois? You better say: Eastern bloc architecture!” titled a short article – one of the very few – published on the occasion of the reopening in July 2002 of the renovated National Giro Bank building in Brussels.1 Victor Bourgeois designed the office block in 1937 and finished it in 1949. Unoccupied since 1990, the Flemish parliament bought it and organized an international competition to transform it into an office building for its deputies. The official press release emphasizes how Bourgeois was one of the most important architects of the modern movement in Belgium. But the quoted parliamentarian bluntly expressed his doubts on, not to say his dislike of the building’s architectural quality. The small column was found on the inner pages of the paper and would have passed unnoticed together with the day’s other fait-divers, if it didn’t surpass the simple taste of a parliamentarian. As a matter of fact, though, the negative critical judgement on Bourgeois’ later buildings has been, and still is widespread and often repeated in the field of theory and history of Belgian architecture. In an international context, a comparable negative judgment was assigned to the more mature work of architects such as J.J.P. Oud or André Lurçat, to name only two avant-gardists who seem to have 1 given up modernism at a higher age. What distinguishes the Belgian architect from his colleagues however is that this critical reception is part of a larger picture, which assigns a rather ambivalent place to Victor Bourgeois in the history of modern architecture in Belgium.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: a WORLD for ALL and NONE: DE
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: A WORLD FOR ALL AND NONE: DE STIJL, MODERNISM, AND THE DECORATIVE ARTS Devon Quinn Zimmerman Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Steven Mansbach, Department of Art History and Archaeology In October 1917, the first issue of the journal De Stijl was printed in the Netherlands under the editorial leadership of Theo van Doesburg. The publication became a nexus around which a core group of progressive artists, architects, and designers were brought together. They all shared a similar goal: to be a platform through which a new aesthetic would be declared, one that would diagnose and resolve the social, cultural, and metaphysical conditions that had led to the First World War. The group’s vision was totalizing, meant to encompass all forms of art, from armchairs to architecture. This dissertation explores the position of the decorative arts within De Stijl’s utopian project. The decorative arts were the bellwether of many of the principal social, cultural, and political problems that modernity brought to the fore. As a result, the polemics that emerged from the decorative arts profoundly informed the development of De Stijl’s artistic praxis and theoretical framework during the formative years of the group. By acknowledging the origins of many of De Stijl’s intellectual and aesthetic positions within the decorative arts, this dissertation aims to present a renewed perspective on the group’s formal projects in interior design, stained glass, and furniture. By rooting the work of these artists within the instrumental role of the decorative arts, this dissertation gives needed attention to these essential, yet undertheorized aspects of De Stijl’s utopian project to provide new insights into one of the most prominent artistic movements of the interwar period.

  • DE INTERNATIONALE STIJL EN CIAM : Globalisme Avant La Lettre Norbert Poulain (Vzw Interbellum) 1
    DE INTERNATIONALE STIJL EN CIAM: globalisme avant la lettre Norbert Poulain (vzw Interbellum) 1 Wanneer is de moderne architectuur ontstaan? Sommige historici L. Sullivan: Wainwright Building, St. Louis, 1890-1891 zien in het concept ‘moderniteit’ van de 18de-eeuwse Verlichting (Hedrich-Blessing, Chicago) het begin van de evolutie naar een moderne architectuur die ratio- neel, wetenschappelijk en sociaal wordt bepaald. In de 19de eeuw grijpen Viollet-le-Duc en de Arts and Crafts Movement vooral om archeologische en ethische redenen terug naar de primaire relatie tussen esthetica en techniek, naar constructie en functie. De innova- ties van de Industriële Revolutie zullen steeds meer het ingenieurs- aspect van de architectuur benadrukken. Het Crystal Palace, in 1851 door Joseph Paxton ontworpen voor de Great Exhibition in Londen, is met zijn dominante metalen en glazen constructie veruit het meest gekende vroege voorbeeld van de greep van de techniek op de architectuur. Het stalen skelet van de wolkenkrabbers van Louis Sullivan en andere Amerikaanse architecten wordt omstreeks 1890 hét toonbeeld van de technische mogelijkheden van de moderne architectuur. Maar al wordt bij dergelijke constructies het ornament soms in vraag gesteld, toch is het nog aanwezig. Bij gebruiksvoor- werpen ligt dat enigszins anders. In de tweede helft van de 19de eeuw worden al objecten gemaakt die hun schoonheid niet halen uit de versiering, maar louter uit hun functionele vormgeving. De art nouveau zal echter nog versierende elementen combineren met technische nieuwigheden, ook al moeten, volgens Henry van de Velde, ornamenten de architectuur (en bij uitbreiding alle voorwer- pen) niet zomaar versieren maar daadwerkelijk ondersteunen. Naar een functionele architectuur Het échte modernisme begint pas omstreeks 1900 als een aantal architecten aanvankelijk individueel zoeken naar een architectuur die op wetenschap en economie is gebaseerd.

Menigmaal kregen we te horen welke grote ruimtelijke impact technieken hebben op het gebouwontwerp. Toch wordt er bij dat volume technieken slechts weinig stilgestaan in de ontwerpateliers en ook in de meer historische vakken komt dit onderwerp nauwelijks aan bod. Deze vaststelling leidde tot Het volume van elektriciteit, een omvangrijk werk over technische installaties en hun impact op de Belgische architectuur van de twintigste eeuw.
