ART WITHOUT ART:
Selected Writing from the World of Blunt Edge
Edited by Marcus Reichert
Introduction by Roy Oxlade
Contributors include Judith Chandler, Benet Haughton, Joanna Melvin, Drew Milne, Anthony O'Hear, Roy Oxlade, George Pattison, Marcus Reichert, Sr Anselma Scollard OSB, Roger Scruton, and Roger Turner. Featuring reproductions of works by Philip Guston, Roy Oxlade, and Rose Wylie.
ART WITHOUT ART is about the innocence and the intimacy essential to making art that exists beyond the distractions of our consumerist society. It examines the spiritual presence of a work of art, both as a physical and an abstract expression of the artist's existence and empathy.
With illuminating essays on Joseph Beuys, David Bomberg, Peter Fuller, Philip Guston, Eva Hesse, Andre Malraux, Gerhard Richter, Andy Warhol, Tate Modern, and the failure of Conceptual Art.
