When Art History Meets Artificial Intelligence
Attention Seeking
This article examines Tristan Tzara's innovative art critical writing of the 1940s and shows how the poet's engagement with European avant-garde painting developed ideas that shaped Paris Dada during the 1920s. Focusing on essays about Joan Miró and Paul Klee, it is argued that Tzara employed an unorthodox language for writing about art and promoted a distinctive style of art critical prose poetry. His approach to art criticism is shown to raise …
Art markets, epistemic authority, and the institutional curation of knowledge
The recent proliferation of data about art prices has been interpreted as the\ndemocratization of a formerly secretive economic sphere. Contesting this\nidea, I argue that such data is collected, controlled, and disseminated by\ninternational art dealers and auction houses for the purpose of reinforcing\nthe myth of a single, integrated market for art. Through the analysis of\npresentation strategies in Gagosian Gallery’s online viewing rooms and…
Screen culture, online auctions, and art market spectacle
This article examines the symbolic, financial, and visual qualities of spectacular, multi-site, online art auctions staged by Sotheby’s and Christie’s during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is argued that these events adopted visual techniques drawn from television gameshows and popular cinema culture to create a distinctive screen-based reality for the transaction of art assets. Much of the rhetoric employed by the auction houses to publicise online a…

Ethnographic Collecting and African Agency in Early Colonial West Africa
The early collections from Africa in Liverpool’s World Museum reflect the city’s longstanding shipping and commercial links with Africa’s Atlantic coast. A principal component of these collections is an assemblage of several thousand artefacts from western Africa that were transported to institutions in northwest England between 1894 and 1916 by the Liverpool steam ship engineer Arnold Ridyard. While Ridyard’s collecting efforts can be seen to ha…
Collage as Form and Idea in the Art Criticism of Tristan Tzara
Tristan Tzara’s art criticism extended over a broad range of stylistically diverse twentieth-century artists including James Ensor, Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Ivan Puni, Paul Klee, Hans Arp, Kurt Schwitters, Max Ernst, and Joan Miró. Attesting to the poet’s wide-ranging interest in visual creativity, substantial essays were also devoted to African, pre-Columbian, and Oceanic arts. These art-critical writings appeared in newspap…
Egyptian Voyages
This article analyses a suite of black-and-white photographs entitled Egyptian Suite produced by the Franco-Lebanese photographer Fouad Elkoury between 1985 and 1990 and published in book format in 1999. This work retraces the journey to Egypt undertaken by Gustave Flaubert and Maxime Du Camp in 1849–50 and calls into question the colonialist assumptions that underpin their textual and photographic records. Through a close reading of individual i…
Against Autobiography
This article examines Henri Matisse's essays on art as a form of life writing that eschews autobiography. It is argued that in his early essays Matisse used the written word to communicate an image of the self that was devoid of personal detail and to counter biographical approaches to the interpretation of artworks that had reached a height in French critical literature about the arts during the nineteenth century. Illustrating this point, a par…
Undoing urban modernity
This article analyses the image of the waste picker in contemporary visual art in order to test the extent to which urban modernity can be viewed as a unified critical concept. Focusing on works by Surasi Kusolwong and Santiago Sierra, it examines confrontations between ‘modern’ and ‘non-modern’ sociological, economic and artistic practices within the urban environment. The analysis is located in the context of Bernard Yack’s The Fetishism of Mod…

Nostalgia and identity
This article analyses Jules Simon’s nostalgic view of 17th-century femininity as part of his vision of French social reform during the 1890s. Simon’s enthusiasm for the past is located in the context of late 19th-century social criticism that prized a domestic role for women and used such a role to symbolize the re-establishment of boundaries between public and private life. Simon’s vision of female life underpins a form of social organization th…

Effects of Exurban Development on Biodiversity
Low-density rural home development is the fastest-growing form of land use in the United States since 1950. This “exurban” development (∼6–25 homes/km2) includes urban fringe development (UFD) on the periphery of cities and rural residential development (RRD) in rural areas attractive in natural amenities. This paper synthesizes current knowledge on the effects of UFD and RRD. We present two case studies and examine the patterns of biodiversity r…

Developing aesthetic judgement
This paper is concerned with the development of aesthetic judgement in art history of mature students on a part‐time degree programme, which has replaced the previous extra‐mural provision. It raises questions about the aims and objectives of the programme as well as its content. Should the programme be concerned with producing experts in art history or follow a more traditional liberal approach of giving students a transferable skill which, by p…
