The Lessons of Modernism

Josipovici, G.

What are the relations between a man's life and his art? What is the place of modern art, with its underlying principles of fragmentation, dislocation and parody in the culture and education of today? What are the limits of human expression and of the expressivity of voice and body? These are some of the questions raised by Gabriel Josipovici in this collections of essays, now in its second edition. To the first edition, which won the South East Arts Literature Prize for 1978, the author has added a new preface, explaining the continuing relevance of the argument of the book to a new generation of students and scholars.
