Venus in Exile by Wendy Steiner
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 325 KB
Overview: Whereas previous eras had celebrated beauty as the central aim of art, the modernist avant-garde were deeply suspicious of beauty and its perennial symbols, woman and ornament, preferring instead the thrill and alienation of the sublime. They rejected harmony, empathy, and femininity in a denial still reverberating through art and social relations today. Exploring this casting of Venus, with all her charms, into exile, Wendy Steiner’s brilliant, ambitious, and provocative analysis explores the twentieth century’s troubled relationship with beauty.
