Description & Specifications

For those who appreciate the exquisite analysis of painting, Those Passions will be essential reading. T. J. Clark's texts delve into the subtle elements of painting, observing and explaining how small brushstrokes can contribute to powerful overall impressions. An excellent example is the study of Henri Matisse's painting Woman with a Hat (1905). Clark also analyzes Eugène Delacroix's Lion Hunt (1855), highlighting the strategic elements associated with the political dimension of art.

The internationally renowned art historian T. J. Clark, through this careful distillation of his writings, examines critical issues concerning the relationship of art with politics. He questions whether art is obliged to engage with politics and, if so, how it does it. Using examples from Hieronymus Bosch to Jacques-Louis David and the French Revolution, Those Passions shows how modern art has responded to the chaos and danger of contemporary life.

The writing spans twenty-five years and includes radical, provocative essays that revolutionize by seeking issues central to the creation of art and political life today. The book is organized into three sections: ‘Forerunners’, ‘Contemporaries’, and ‘Modernities’, where Clark dismantles the nature of capitalist society and its visual culture.
