Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Preface and Acknowledgments List of Abbreviations Introduction: 1929 Formalism and Perception: From Löwy and Fry to Wertheimer and Gombrich 1936 Reviewing Kunstwissenschaft: Foreshadowing the Two Cultures Debate 1941 Science and the Dialectic: Raphael and Dewey, Courbet and Picasso 1947 The “Aesthetic Attitude,” Coomaraswamy’s Metaphysics, and the Westernness of Art’s History 1956 Pragmatic Psychoanalysis and the Confirmation of Woman I 1961 Debating Berenson with Berlin: Two Concepts of Art-Historical Liberty 1968 Heidegger and Goldstein: Van Gogh’s Shoes and the Liabilities of Ekphrasis 1973 Words and Pictures: A Color Field Critique of Structuralist Semiotics Epilogue Notes Bibliography of Works by Meyer Schapiro General Bibliography IndexReviewsDuring a long and fabled career, Meyer Schapiro transformed the field of art history, influenced the development of modern art, and earned an honored place in the heady world of the New York intellectuals. In this incisive and judicious account of eight major controversies in which he participated, C. Oliver O'Donnell provides ample evidence that one of the giants of 20th-century culture still has much to teach us in the 21st. --Martin E. Jay, author of Reason After its Eclipse: On Late Critical Theory O'Donnell's noteworthy study breaks new ground in dealing comprehensively with the career of one of the most influential American intellectuals of the past century. Meyer Schapiro was active as an art historian and theorist with remarkably wide-ranging interests. He was also involved in the critical debates that accompanied the rise of Abstract Expressionism. His early engagement with Marxism is closely analysed here, as is his deep affiliation with the tradition of American Pragmatism. --Stephen Bann, author of Distinguished Images: Prints in the Visual Economy of Nineteenth-Century France Meyer Schapiro belongs to that small number of art historians who can be regarded as world-class intellectuals; even Theodor W. Adorno was dazzled by his 'tireless imagination.' He was one of those rare scholars who engaged so deeply with the philosophical and political issues of their times that their writings illuminate in profound ways the larger culture to which they belonged. In this concise, learned, and well-researched study, Oliver O'Donnell offers the first synthetic overview of Schapiro's achievement in a sequence of essays that compellingly illustrate his range and complexity as an historian and a thinker. Schapiro is a demanding subject and O'Donnell has risen magnificently to the challenge. --Andrew Hemingway, author of The Mysticism of Money: Precisionist Painting and Machine Age America During a long and fabled career, Meyer Schapiro transformed the field of art history, influenced the development of modern art, and earned an honored place in the heady world of the New York intellectuals.
