The Modernist Legacy: Essays on New Music
This collection of essays offers a historical reappraisal of what musical modernism was, and what its potential for the present and future could be. It thus moves away from the binary oppositions that have beset twentieth-century music studies in the past, such as those between modernism and postmodernism, between conceptions of musical autonomy and of cultural contingency and between formalist-analytical and cultural-historical approaches. Focussing particularly on music from the 1970s to the 1990s, the volume assembles approaches from different perspectives to new music with a particular emphasis on a critical reassessment of the meaning and function of the legacy of musical modernism. The authors include scholars, musicologists and composers who combine culturally, socially, historically and aesthetically oriented approaches with analytical methods in imaginative ways.
Ellsworth Kelly, Paul Cézanne
A l'invitation du musée d'Orsay, des artistes d'aujourd'hui dialoguent avec les collections en choisissant l'œuvre de laquelle ils se sentent proches. Naît ainsi la possibilité de voir les collections sous un nouveau jour.

Nourri de l'architecture romane, il a toujours été attentif au travail de la structure notamment chez Cézanne. L'essai d'Ann Hindry sur le travail et le parcours de Kelly, et leur entretien, donnent les clés pour découvrir son œuvre et comprendre son dialogue avec L'Estaque de Paul Cézanne.

Clement Greenberg Between the Lines
Clement Greenberg (1909–1994), champion of abstract expressionism and modernism—of Pollock, Miró, and Matisse—has been esteemed by many as the greatest art critic of the second half of the twentieth century, and possibly the greatest art critic of all time. This volume, a lively reassessment of Greenberg’s writings, features three approaches to the man and his work: Greenberg as critic, doctrinaire, and theorist. The book also features a transcription of a public debate with Greenberg that de Duve organized at the University of Ottawa in 1988. Clement Greenberg Between the Lines will be an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of modern art. “In this compe...
