Robert Rauschenberg and Surrealism: Art, 'Sensibility' and War: Transnational Surrealism

Autor Dr Gavin Parkinson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 apr 2023
The art of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) is usually viewed as quite distinct from Surrealism, a movement which the artist himself displayed some hostility towards. However, Rauschenberg had a very positive reception among Surrealists, particularly across the period 1959-69.In the face of Rauschenberg's avowals of his own 'literalism' and insistence on his art as 'facts,' this book gathers generous evidence of the poetic, metaphorical, allusive, associative and connotative dimensions of the artist's oeuvre as identified by Surrealists, and thus extrapolates new readings from Rauschenberg's key works on that basis. By viewing Rauschenberg's art against the expansion of the cultural influence of the United States in Europe in the period after the Second World War and the increasingly politicized activities of the Surrealists in the era of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-62), Robert Rauschenberg and Surrealism shows how poetic inference of the artist's work was turned towards political interpretation. By analysing Rauschenberg's art in the context of Surrealism, and drawing from it new interpretations and perspectives, this volume simultaneously situates the Surrealist movement in 1960s American art criticism and history.

Recenzii

Parkinson's expansive study opens up poetic, allusive, and sometimes political layers in Rauschenberg 's works, unearthing important responses from Parisian critics and writers. This approach unexpectedly establishes Rauschenberg's Surrealist inflected roots, whilst contributing to the recent wave of expanded consideration of post-war, later Surrealism.
With remarkable precision, thoroughness, and generative energy, Parkinson's book offers an authoritative account of the French surrealist reception of Rauschenberg's work in the 1960s. Analysing little-known and untranslated texts, Parkinson shows just how enmeshed the aesthetic and political registers were for these writers and artists.
This impressive book is more than a study on Rauschenberg and Surrealism, more specifically on the largely unnoticed or forgotten link between them. It is also a reflection on the way we write art history today, as a strange mix of theory, thoroughly documented archival research and, above all, an obsession with linear periodization.
