Creative Writing and Art History
Angebote / Angebote:
This collection of articles considers the ways in which the writing of art history intersects with creative writing, from the creative writing of art history to dialogues between styles of creative and art-historical writing. The subject matter covered is diverse, from late Neolithic stone circles to the writing of a sentence by Flaubert. Yet a number of questions circulate - in particular, the stakes involved in various forms of art-historical writing, and the claims made for the art historian's interpretation. Some authors analyse historical examples of art-historical writing that have a creative element, others explore conversations between literature and art history, whilst others attempt their own modes of creative writing about art. The topics covered within this varied collection include Paul Gauguin's collages of quotations, Sophie Calle's collaboration with Paul Auster, Henry James' portraiture, Bernard Berenson's fictional artist 'Amico di Sandro', Virginia Woolf's 'visual' writing, Pablo Picasso's solar mythology as re-written by Georges Bataille, and creative writing in the 'middle voice'.
