From Space in Modern Art to a Spatial Art History
Reassessing Constructivism through the Publication "Circle" (1937)
von Jutta VinzentThis book traces artists’ theories of constructive space in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on these concepts and recent theories on space, it develops a methodology termed ‘Spatial Art History’ that conceives of artworks as physical spatio-temporal things, which produce the social, to overcome the reductive understanding of art as a mere mirror or facilitator of society.
