From Space in Modern Art to a Spatial Art History: Reassessing Constructivism through the Publication "Circle" (1937)

Jutta Vinzent

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

This 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.
