Modernism Contested: Gego's Grids And The Aesthetics Of Temporality, Victoria L. Fedrigotti
Modernism Contested: Gego's Grids And The Aesthetics Of Temporality, Victoria L. Fedrigotti
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis traces Gego’s contestation of art historical modernism through examining her relationship to the modernist grid and to her modernist genealogy of Constructivism, Geometric Abstraction, and Kineticism. These two nonlinear developments subvert the teleological conception of progress presumed by Greenbergian modernism, and bring forth Gego’s own aesthetic conception of temporality.
