On a purely technical level, it's a beautifully achieved effect, and some critics have argued that in Emma, Austen more or less invented and perfected the use of the free indirect discourse that the modernists would love so deeply.

"The early modernists' objective was to represent all aspects of city life as legitimate subjects in fine art," Ms. Murrell said, arguing that Laure was emblematic of a new black working class that Manet saw around him every day.
|
|
She comes from an artistic family: Her grandfather was the painter Arthur Dove (1880-1946), one of the most important American Modernists, whose work is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art and other major institutions.

Framing the debate this way presents a contest of hypotheses: The eco-modernists believe we can innovate our way to a climate solution; the degrowthers think that only a rapid mass transition to simpler ways of life will do.
|

As opera it may not be first-rate, but it is still important as the work of a composer who is arguably a missing link between the prewar Austro-German serialists (Schönberg, Berg) and postwar modernists (Henze to Stockhausen).
|
|
Though Porter preserved an intellectual and geographical distance from downtown New York's art world factionalism, he honed his craft for decades by paying attention to Modernists of all stripes, even learning tricks from younger peers like Wolf Kahn and Jane Freilicher.
|
|
Stieglitz's gallery, 291, introduced New York to the latest works of European modernists — from Rodin's sexually explicit drawings to Constantin Brâncuși's sculptures, to art by Picasso and Matisse — years before the Armory show officially brought modern art to the country.
|
|
The social network popular among home-renovation voyeurs and mid-century modernists is eyeing a late-June listing; aided by its main underwriters, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, the company is expected to seek a valuation of at least $2000 billion.
|
|
The design of the Glass House is undeniably influenced by the open and pared-down architecture of the European modernists Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe; Bo Bardi kept Le Corbusier's famous black chaise longue in her living room.
|
|
In it he recalls that, in the early decades of the 20th century, a handful of Japanese architects traveled to Europe to study and apprentice with such now-legendary modernists as Walter Gropius (the Bauhaus school's founding director) and Le Corbusier.
|
|
American modernists who both spent formative periods in Paris (in the late 1920s and late 1940s, respectively), Calder and Kelly eventually met in that city and maintained a lasting fondness for one another, despite an age difference of 25 years.
|
|
One goal of Asia Society's exhibition is to combat the abiding prejudice that accounts for these painters' absence from my introductory art history textbooks: the idea that their works were "derivative," belated imitations of Picasso, Klee and other Western modernists.
|
|
As I see it, the early modernists' fascination with El Greco's old master pictures was one step towards the creation of André Malraux's "museum without walls," which made it possible to appreciate art, on purely aesthetic grounds, from every visual culture.
|
|
At Miami's Cernuda Arte, one of the leading outposts in the US for Latin-American modern art, a fine selection of Cuban modernists' works is on view, including Manuel Mendive's oil washes on canvas depicting wispy spirits from a primordial dreamland.
|
|
Teodoro González de León was born in Mexico City on May 29, 1926, and grew up in the southern district of San Ángel, not far from the studio designed for the muralist Diego Rivera by one of Mexico's earliest Modernists, Juan O'Gorman.
|
|
As many critics noted, this wasn't exactly a new idea: Proust and Joyce, among other Modernists, employed similar techniques at a time of mounting distrust in supposedly civilizing forces, creating works of interiority that seemed to be about both nothing and everything.
|
|
As a few critics noted at the time, the wall-mounted objects evoked the nonwestern masks that early European Modernists prized, yet the crude construction and mood lighting summoned a kind of return of the repressed filtered through an adolescent heavy-metal aesthetic.
|

See This At the top of my list of art exhibitions to see this fall is "In a Cloud, In a Wall, In a Chair: Six Modernists in Mexico at Midcentury," which opens at the Art Institute of Chicago on Sept. 6.
|
|
By 1921, while other early American modernists, such as Marsden Hartley and Hopper, were still depicting rural scenes, namely White America, Davis, who was inspired by Walt Whitman ("our one big artist"), was trying to figure out how to introduce modern life into his work.
|
|
Jacobs skewered overreaching modernists like the architect Le Corbusier (who once proposed demolishing half of central Paris in the name of renewal), and she took on New York's infamous urban czar, Robert Moses, when he planned to run a highway through Washington Square Park.
|
|
The self-conscious modernists, imbued with the gospel of democratic rights and material progress—spiritual children of John Stuart Mill or Professor Laski—were impatient of Gandhi's goat, homespun, and prayer meetings, even though they knew that politically they could not do without him.
|
|
Music with a local angle by Mozart (Salzburg's favorite son) and Richard Strauss (one of the festival's founders) will be featured, as will 20th-century modernists such as Luigi Nono and Morton Feldman, who have been prized by the festival's artistic director, Markus Hinterhäuser.
|
|
Similarly, the character of Munroe's art also brings to mind that of the pioneer in abstraction Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), a Swedish mystic whose paintings predated the non-realist, image-making experiments of such legendary early modernists as Wassily Kandinksy or Piet Mondrian.
|
|
What distinguishes Mr. Laarman and his curious, provocative chairs and tables from the Eameses and other Modernists is that he is operating in the paradigm shift from industrial to digital design, from the mass production of standardized parts and objects to their mass individuation.
|
|
This type of work is as popular as ever, perhaps even more so, but amid last week's feeding frenzy for familiar modernists one could also read the attitudes of the global elite toward the turbulences of the world, which can be felt even in Switzerland.
|
|
Living, working, and traveling in Mexico brought him in contact with arte popular, the art of ancient Mesoamerica, and the Mexican modernists, especially José Guadalupe Posada, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Frida Kahlo, and Rufino Tamayo — all of whom he avidly assimilated to his own vision.
|
|
It is divided into three sections: "Avant-Gardes," focused on his seminal exhibitions of contemporary art of the '60s and '70s; "Utopias and Visionaries," which explores exhibitions about early 20th-century utopias, modernists, and mystics; and "Geographies," examining his Swiss identity and peripatetic later career.
|
|
Artists such as Clark, Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Pape, Jesús Rafael Soto, Alejandro Otero and Tomás Maldonado have long been regarded as modernists, but it is only in the past decade or so that their work has been studied seriously alongside that of European and American artists.
|
|
Wool's painting hangs in the appropriation room, but it feels misplaced there, even though its text comes from an exterior source; its modus operandi is instead the garden-variety appropriation that has been practiced by modernists from Pablo Picasso to Jasper Johns — an instigation for formal inquiry.
|
|
I did find some standout pieces among the well-worn modernists, including Burri's "Bianca Plastica" (1967) at the booth of Mazzoleni Art and Magritte's "Paysage Marin avec Oiseau" (1961), a painting of clouds in the shape of a bird on a wine bottle, at Keitelman Gallery.
|
|
In Russian Art and the West (21), American scholar Alison Hilton discusses the particulars of the dialogue between socialist realism and Impressionism: because Russian modernists such as Kandinsky, Chagall, and Malevich had ventured so far into abstraction, the new revolutionary institutions didn't see Impressionism as a threat.
|
|
More accurately, she shows us that there are homologies of visual form among the decorative practices of indigenous people and the motifs employed by the mostly European modernists — which is enough to destabilize the story of modernism birthed ex nihilo from the minds of genius artists.
|
|
The response has been a conservative and nostalgic one — for the days when this historical biennial showed the great American and European modernists — while the US press has tended to glorify this biennial's theme, Incerteza Viva or "Live Uncertainty," by transposing it onto Brazil's wretched political climate.
|
|
Along with his teacher-mentor, the architect and urban planner Lúcio Costa, and the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, Niemeyer was part of a group of Brazilian Modernists who believed in constructing a nation that would usher itself into a new era of equality and prosperity.
|
|
Rather than offer objects for contemplation—as Bernini or Rodin or even expansive modernists such as Giacometti and David Smith did—minimalist artists induce acute self-consciousness, making us aware of where we are in a given space and how our sensations alter as we move.
|
|
In Schöpke's most gestural, energetic, abstract compositions, some viewers may also find affinities with the distinctive lines of such well-known modernists as Cy Twombly or Joan Mitchell, next to whose pastel-on-paper abstractions Schöpke's own, made with plain pencil and crayons, would certainly provoke a fascinating dialogue.
|
|
Vautier's égoïste style of life-as-art work has greatly expanded on the early modernists' drive for all-encompassing, total-art fullness, perhaps to the point where his type of grand, flamboyant gesture has become increasingly obvious as a contributing factor to the global rise of pop zombie classicism.
|
|
Reflecting her passions and role as a trustee at the Whitney Museum of American Art, it is filled with classic paintings by the country's renowned modernists, including Edward Hopper, Milton Avery, Jacob Lawrence, Thomas Hart Benton and Georgia O'Keeffe (with a radiant new acquisition of her "Blue Morning Glories").
|
|
His classic New England sensibility — he favors straight lines, simple stripes and the innate minimalism of colonial architecture — is tempered by his formal training in industrial design at New York City's Pratt Institute, as well as his deep affinity for French Modernists, including Jean Prouvé and Jean Royère.
|
|
These "eco-modernists" believe that a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, along with measures to address economic inequality, will arrest the climate crisis and allow us to continue living large, with levels of material comfort and prosperity similar to or greater than those we enjoy today.
|
|
With them, perhaps, we can understand why the European Modernists' engagement with African art was primarily limited to its formal qualities, as the meaning and function of the art's devotional magic remains relatively mysterious even now, not least of all because the objects were often intended to serve multiple functions.
|
|
It turns up its Roman nose at the modernists' hope for authentic, local materials expressing their fundamental essence; at the Prairie School's pragmatic, ecologically aware eaves; at the prefab ornamentation of Arts and Crafts; at Hugh Ferris megalopolises and Broadway boogie-woogie modernism … the hell with all that American stuff.
|
|
Taking in the small, almost square paintings, I intuited the game, thinking to myself, I see the visual references to Sol Lewitt, to Jackson Pollock, to Robert Rauschenberg, Jaspers Johns, Donald Judd, and Barnett Newman — the heroic modernists, at least in the canonical version still taught in freshman art history courses.
|
|
WASHINGTON — President Obama and the team planning his life after the White House have selected Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, a New York-based husband-and-wife architectural duo, to design his presidential library in Chicago, tapping two modernists who are known for their refined work creating cultural and academic institutions.

MODERN SPANISH ART FROM THE ASOCIACION COLECCÍON ARTE CONTEMPORÁNEO Beyond Picasso and Miró, an exhibition of more than 219 works created between 21980 and 21990 tracks the contributions of other important Spanish modernists, including Eduardo Chillida, Óscar Dominguez, Pablo Gargallo, Julio González, Antoni Tàpies and Joaquín Torres-Garcia. Oct. 2200-Jan.
|
|
Like all those modernists before her for whom a fundamental visual language of lines, circles, squares, triangles, grids, and other "pure" geometric imagery had provided a launching pad for spiritual lift-off, Munroe felt that she had found a combination of technical methods and material forms that served her communicative purposes.
|
|
In Japan today, difficult-to-categorize artworks like Nishimura's can — and perhaps should — be appreciated in the wider context of expressionist and abstract art forms, of which Japanese modernists, from members of the postwar Gutai group to the multidisciplinary artist Tarō Okamoto (1911-1996), certainly have put forth their own distinctive offerings.
|
|
Even though Torres- García is one of the best known Latin American modernists, his claim of equality has never been taken seriously by the Museum of Modern Art, and so you can imagine my delight at seeing his logo blown-up and on the wall, if only for the life of this exhibition.
|
|
Built over a period of 44 years, from 1772 to 1816, the simple, organic geometry of its beehive buttresses and off-kilter, hand-troweled walls have inspired such early American modernists as Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams, and Paul Strand to capture the stark interplay of shadow and light across the building's Cubist forms.
|
|
Volpi painted with fast-drying, luminescent tempera, and his subtle and sensitive coloring — maritime blues, murmuring grays and delicate concords of teal, rose and hunter green — may put you in mind less of Brazil's hard-charging modernists than of Milton Avery, an American contemporary who also bridged observational painting and near-abstraction.
|
|
Austin Harrelson, her husband and a designer, landscaped the pool area outside and appointed the interior with furnishings by classic modernists including Karl Springer and Samuel Marx, while the family as an ensemble has had a say in the mix of art — often by women, some of them very young — in their home.
|
|
Also on her wishlist are pieces by 19th-century African American artists Edmonia Lewis, Robert Duncan, and Joshua Johnson; early modernists of the Harlem Renaissance like Aaron Douglas, Archibald Motley, Augusta Savage, and Sargent Johnson; and the work of the African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists Collective (or AfriCOBRA), founded in Chicago in the 1960s.
|
|
But coming some years after the concrete heroism of the postwar decades, and the megastructures of the Metabolists — Modernists who produced structurally daring buildings that were meant to exude the future-minded society of Japan in the '60s and '70s — he has adopted a hermetic set of fundamental concerns that continue to be visually surprising.
|
|
It is here that one can grasp a fuller context for the ceramic work of artists as diverse as the European Modernists Pablo Picasso, Joan Mirò, Henri Matisse, and Fernand Léger, and more contemporary practitioners like Anne Wenzel, Edmund de Waal, Eduardo Chillid, Antoni Tàpies, Leiko Ikemura, Klara Kristalova, Grayson Perry, Ai Weiwei, and Jessica Harrison.
|
|
Though she did visit England and the West Coast, and supped with other modernists in New York, the adult Marianne faced a tough life in a series of tiny apartments, inseparable from a very needy Mary, and almost unable to voice her resentments except through extraordinarily indirect poems like the ones in her breakthrough book, "Observations" (1924).
|
|
Luhan spent her life building utopian communities, first as an expatriate in Florence, Italy, where Gertrude Stein introduced her to the avant-garde of European modernists including Picasso and Matisse; and next in Greenwich Village, New York, where she hosted one of the most famous salons of the 20th century and was a key organizer of the 1913 Armory Show.
|
|
Ishida also admired the work of Vincent Van Gogh and, in his choice of books, he favored Dostoyevsky's The Idiot and the novels of such Japanese modernists as Kōbō Abe and Osamu Dazai, the latter of whom was known for his numerous suicide attempts (he finally did kill himself, in 1948) and his brutally candid tales of debauchery and renegade antics.
|
|
That changed in the late 1960s, as architecture students began to protest what they characterized as the overblown heroics of American Modernists, many of them trained at Harvard under Gropius, and the destructive slash-and-burn urban renewal strategies — largely but by no means completely misinterpretations of Le Corbusier's planning theories — that were laying waste to communities across the world.
|
|
Professor Scully not only encouraged many young architects to become preservation activists; he also encouraged them to look with fresh eyes at modern buildings that the blinkered Modernists had dismissed, like the romantic and urbanistically appropriate New York skyscrapers of the 1920s and the Collegiate Gothic quadrangles designed by James Gamble Rogers that Yale built to maintain its identity within an industrial city.
|
|
Bergamin & Gomide, from São Paulo, is displaying paintings and works on paper by familiar names like Lygia Pape, but also by Brazilian modernists less attested in Western museums, like Judith Lauand, whose geometric compositions pared Concretism down to its most minimal elements, and Alfredo Volpi, who painted faint, woozy-edged abstractions that are as tantalizing as Ms. Lauand's are exacting.
|
|
Other pairings are even more uncanny: In Neel's "David Sokola" (1973), his denim leg is casually draped over the arm of a chair, while an unnamed man, eyes closed in what could be pain or ecstasy, attempts a similar pose in Arbus's "Young Man on a Sofa, N.Y.C." Hirschl and Adler's space was devoted to American women Modernists including Judy Chicago and Georgia O'Keeffe.
|
|
But despite the opinion of Elliott Carter that Debussy "settled the technical direction of contemporary music," and despite the impossibility of the existence of the piano music of modernists such as Messiaen or Ligeti without him, I think the secret to playing Debussy's music lies in its Chopinist roots — he edited the Polish composer's works for Durand — and in his ties to his older, old-fashioned compatriots Massenet, Delibes and others.
|
|
But while some Modernists seemed to arrive at the conclusion that existence was ultimately hollow, autofiction carried, on the balance, the optimism of a more therapeutic age, suggesting that meaning could be found anywhere we sought it, even in the most banal moments, such as a child's birthday party (Knausgaard's 2009-2011 series "My Struggle") or while bagging groceries at the Park Slope Food Coop (Lerner's 2014 "10:04").
|
|
The exhibition "In a Cloud, in a Wall, in a Chair: Six Modernists in Mexico at Midcentury," simply but beautifully presented at the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing, highlights the work of six women: the Cuban-born Clara Porset, the Mexican Lola Álvarez Bravo, the German émigré Anni Albers, and the Americans Ruth Asawa, Cynthia Sargent and Sheila Hicks (who at 85 is still actively working with fibers).
|
|
The Korean gallery Kukje and its New York partner Tina Kim brought the most exquisite selection of Korean modernists yet: Ha Chong-hyun, Chung Sang-hwa, and Lee Ufan, but the standout was a small black painting from 2000 by Park Seo-bo, with folded Korean Hanji paper that makes it look sculptural like the paintings of Manzoni (of which there were also many in the fair, including one stunning "Achrome" from the 1950s at Dominique Levy).
