Product Description
Bonfand, one of the world's renowned experts on the subject, begins his discussion by quoting an observation made by Frank Stella in 1984, centering on Stella's commentary about the three great masters of abstraction: Kandinsky, Malevich, and Mondrian. The discussions surrounding these three "border lords," who, according to Stella, both paved the way for abstraction and hindered its development, form Bonfand's starting point. In this way, an illuminating discussion not only about the position of the contemporary abstract painter but also about the origins of the idea of abstraction forms the backbone of this book. It is a concise history of a movement that began with the debates that dominated the art scene of the 1930s, then took a new turn with the American avant-garde after the war, and subsequently enriched itself with experimental explorations in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
