Antonioni and the Aesthetics of Impurity: Remaking the Image, 1960-1980: Remaking the Image in the 1960s (Edinburgh Studies in Film and Intermediality)
Opis:
Product Description
Discusses Antonioni's cinema in relation to art and other media Critically and comprehensively explores the relation between Antonioni's cinema and art in the 1960s and 1970s, at a time of profound transformation in, and dialogue between, both cinema and art Moves away from traditional readings of Antonioni's cinema in terms of 'purity' by addressing its engagement with mixed and mass media Approaches Antonioni's work through a comparative - trasnational and transmedial - lens Addresses the legacy of Antonioni's cinema in contemporary art Michelangelo Antonioni's 1960s films are widely recognized as both exemplars of cinema and key texts in ushering in cinema's 'modern' incarnation. Reconnecting Antonioni's aesthetically audacious films of the 1960s to the ferment of their historical time, Antonioni and the Aesthetics of Impurity addresses these works' crucial, yet overlooked, affinity with the new 'impure' art practices that emerged in the period. At the same time, the book also offers a novel reading of the films' dialogue with postwar pictorial abstraction. Revealing an Antonioni who embraced both mixed and mass media and reflected on them via his cinema, the book replaces auteuristic accounts of the director's work with a new understanding of its critical significance in late-twentieth century cinema and visual culture.
From the Inside Flap
'While the term is too frequently deployed in contexts such as this, brilliant is the most accurate word with which to describe Matilde Nardellis book, which raises the bar for scholarship on Antonioni. It is endlessly inventive, original, and learned, while its elegant execution makes it a genuine pleasure to read. This book will stand for many years to come as the last word on Antonionis relation to the other arts, but it is also the most interesting and challenging meditation that I know of on the question of cinemas intermediality, and is a landmark in the study of art cinema.'John David Rhodes, Corpus Christi CollegeMichelangelo Antonionis 1960s films are widely recognized as both exemplars of cinema and key texts in ushering in cinemas modern incarnation.
