- Abstract :
- Explores the binarism in modern American painting between the opposing tendencies of representation (especially of the body) and abstraction. Addresses issues such as artistic intention, authorial presence and function, spectator experience, and the role of narrative and meaning in abstract art. Analyzes the development of this binarism in the context of Cold War cultural politics. ;
