Against Affective Formalism: Matisse, Bergson, Modernism


Add your own review!

Overview

How the works of Henri Matisse and Henri Bergson reveal contemporary problems of representation and reality.  Against Affective Formalism confronts modernism's dissatisfactions with representation. As Todd Cronan explains, a central tenet of modernist thought turns on the effort to overcome representation in the name of something more explicit in its capacity to generate affective experience.
