false 133230 1 <i>The Optical Unconscious</i> is a pointed protest against the official story of modernism and against the critical tradition that attempted to define modern art according to certain sacred commandments and self-fulfilling truths. Rosalind Krauss tells the story of the optical unconscious, an unruly, disruptive force that persistently haunted the field of modernism from the 1920s to the 1950s and continues to disrupt it today. From Max Ernst's collage novels and Marcel Duchamp's hypnotic <i>Rotoreliefs</i> to Jackson Pollock's drip pictures and Eva Hesse's luminous sculptures, she finds artists who offered readymade images of obsessional fantasy in place of modernism's intentionality and unexamined compulsions. 128347 25 7 1994 The Optical Unconscious (October Books) total:42|5:10|4:20|3:6|2:5|1:1| 42 159 63 3 3 0 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Sat Aug 16 20:07:46 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 06:06:49 -0700 2008
