Krauss uses the analytical tools of semiology, structuralism, and poststructuralism to reveal new meanings in the visual arts and to critique the way other prominent practitioners of art and literary history write about art. In two sections, "Modernist Myths" and "Toward Postmodernism," her essays range from the problem of the grid in painting and the unity of Giacometti's sculpture to the works of Jackson Pollock, Sol Lewitt, and Richard Serra, and observations about major trends in contemporary literary criticism.<br /> <br /> Rosalind E. Krauss is Professor of Art History at Hunter College. 128346 9 7 1986 The Originality of the Avant-Garde and Other Modernist Myths total:60|5:24|4:24|3:11|2:1|1:0| 60 251 109 3 5 0 false false Wed Jul 04 00:36:24 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 00:40:58 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Sat Feb 16 08:48:17 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 08:49:22 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Sep 21 13:28:59 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 21 15:21:40 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Dec 06 00:56:20 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 00:56:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Dec 04 22:48:21 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 22:49:34 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 24 16:47:33 -0800 2009 Wed Oct 14 18:24:12 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 17:48:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 13:01:52 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 13:01:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 13:18:02 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 13:18:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 09:43:13 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 09:43:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:18:37 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 00:18:37 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jul 17 01:02:47 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 01:02:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 12 20:55:30 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 20:55:30 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jun 20 10:15:37 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 10:15:37 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 08 21:05:47 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 21:05:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 19:36:24 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 19:36:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu May 21 10:31:22 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 10:31:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 04 19:51:19 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 20:27:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 20:00:22 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 20:00:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 28 10:52:09 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 10:52:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 19:16:18 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 19:16:18 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=133229
