In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: 78 Books still life painting. The pages on Harnett and Sheeler, as well as the chapter on tronipe-l’oeil, are especially good. The essay, then, may still serve as a general introduction to the beginner and as a general survey of the field to be supplemented by later studies. The Documents of 20th-Century Art: The Tradition of Constructivism. Stephen Bann, ed. Thames & Hudson, London, 1974.

Born New York, l936; University of Montreal; Quebec, Canadian. American Bar Associations. Is taboo in art. Why cannot the nature of man himself be the subject? There is no order but the order of man. Yet this is great order. There is not even form, as we traditionally know it. There is no Chiaroscuro of solid bodies; now space becomes solid, and solids become transparent. Why should we worry that sculpture isn't.

334 pp., illus. Cloth €3.75’. Reviewed by Donald K. McNamee. Bann’s book is an attempt to present Constructivism through the writings of artists primarily within the movement itself. The attempt is a logical outcome of a phenomenon most prominent in the 20th century, that is, the pressure on artists to explain their works in writing and to define their positions in lectures.

This is done in self-defence as much as by way of explanation. Thus encouraged, artists also have, many times foolishly, rushed to be counted among those who have taken a courageous or daring step into the non-mimetic (abstract) art of our time. In response, critics have scrambled to define the trends, often derisively or arbitrarily labelling them as they seefit while others have ‘packaged’ history, supposedly to explain the labels. There are dangers inherent in Bann’s attempt. The documentation is inevitably limited to those artists who did explain or define, a group that does not necessarily include even all the important representatives of the movement. Moreover, Bann’s own selection among the documents available provides a further distortion.

After the introduction, the documents sketch the work of Gabo, Tatlin, Alexei Can, El Lissitzky, the Congress of International Progressive Artists and the now famous Van Diemen exhibition of 1922. Then follow three sections that give excerpts from some of the Little Magazines (Lef, G, Disk and Blok), introduce van Doesburg, the Bauhaus, the cinema and architecture to the argument, and extend the date to 1932. This is followed by the French Ari Concrete concerns and the English publication Circle, which brings one to 1942. The book ends with eight comments on the period 1948-65 by such persons as Biederman, Vasarely, Lohse, Kenneth Martin and Baljeu and with a selected bibliography. This sampling of Constructivism is offered to students and teachers, as well as to knowledgeable viewers and collectors.

The goal of the book is to demonstrate how the term Constructivism ‘arose. Was extended and perhaps disiorted’ (emphasis mine) but purposely avoids ‘a historical or genetic definition’, in order to weave together ‘broader lines of historical development’ and ‘identifiable movements’, to explain the term’s continued use up to the 1960s. The title is impressive and the aim admirable; it implies a well researched, carefully organized and objective book at least three times the size of this one. However, the limitations imposed by the editor’s methods and selections make it a dangerously misleading guide for students or newcomers to the area; only the very experienced readers may be better equipped to fill in the gaps for themselves. The editor has tried to do too much and this has resulted in an arbitrary selection of material: serious omissions, strange inclusions and several confusions caused both by what is and what is not included. While the 37 reproductions (all in black and white) are good, the introductory chart setting out some artists and publications and two schools, chronologically and by country, is historical distortion ill-presented. It omits Poland and, therefore, the contributions of Strzeminski, Berlewi, Kobro, Stazewski et al.

Yet, the work of Ms. Kobro could certainly cause some re-examination of the position of the minimalists and of modern architecture, as well as relate to the mobiles of Kenneth Martin, and Stazewski had an important exhibition in London in 1963 at the Grabowski Gallery. Indeed, only 3& pages (103-6) selected from Blok are devoted to Poland-an English translation of ‘What Constructivism Is’ and a montage, both by Szczuka. There is no mention of the important Polish publications Praesens and a.r. Nor of Zwrotnica, Dzwirignia arid Fornia. In the few publications the chart does exhibit, why is prominence given to Stricctiire but The Striicriirisi omitted?

Q: What is UNZ.org? A: The UNZ.org website is intended to provide convenient access to a large quantity of high-quality content material, mostly published over the last 150 years in America and England, including both articles and books, encompassing over one million readable items and titles of another million items not readable due to copyright. Much of this material has never previously been available anywhere on the Internet and should be useful for researchers and intellectual historians.

Q: Why do you include non-readable articles and books? A: The inclusion of the copyright-excluded material allows users to examine a more nearly complete collection of a given author's writings, even if many of the particular items themselves are currently unavailable due to copyright. If necessary, many of these other items can often be accessed and read on other websites or content systems, especially in the case of extent publications. Furthermore, there is a chance that at some future point these publications will be released for reading on this website as well.

A: The current Version 2.0 release of UNZ.org incorporates major design changes from the previous version, but nearly all of the same underlying printed content is still available. Given the relatively slight use of the previous links to external videos and webzines, these portions have been removed, thereby streamlining access to the printed materials which constitute the main value of the system. Another major change has been the widespread use of Javascript, rendering most of the pages 'reactive' as you begin entering information. Q: How do I find a given author or publication? A: Most of the main pages of the website contain one or more 'Reactive Clouds,' with the names of various authors or publications.

Javascript functions cause these Clouds to 'react' and change the displayed information as you begin typing in the entry boxes. For example, as you enter the first few letters of an author's name on the Home page, the Clouds adjust to display only those authors whose names begin with those letters. Similar adjustments occur as you start typing in a particular decade or year, or if you select one of the drop-down settings or other filter. This allows you to quickly focus in on the individuals you are seeking based on your particular criteria. At any point, the relative size of the names in a given Cloud indicates the volume of underlying content material associated with that name.

Meanwhile, the color indicates what fraction of the content material is readable (for copyright reasons): bright blue indicates mostly readable, dark blue indicates partly readable, and black means mostly unreadable Q: How do I find a given article or book? A: The main Articles and Books pages, as well as the Overview tabs for individual authors or publications, display a Listing of articles (or books) towards the bottom of the page. Like the Clouds, these Listings are 'reactive' and automatically adjust as you being typing in any of the information in the various data entry fields-Title, Author, Publication, or Period, displaying only those items that match your selection. Q: What about the individual publications? A: When you reach the pages associated with a given publication, you can examine the contents in a number of different ways, accessed via the different tabs.

The default Overview tab gives you the Cloud of authors for that publication plus the Listing of individual articles, with both of these being 'reactive' as you provide information in the Title, Author, or Period fields. There are also several other tabs. The Tree tab displays a dynamic tree allowing the individual time periods, issues, and articles to be opened for greate detail. The Year Contents tab displays the tables of contents for all the issues of a given year, the Issues, Small Covers, and Large Covers tabs display those views of the contents for a given decade, and the All Years tab provides an overview of the entire archive of the periodical. In addition, the drop down field in the control bar may be used to explore the different periods. All these pages allow for convenient browsing of the contents of a given periodical and clicking on any of the individual links accessing more detailed information.

Q: How does Searching work? A: As mentioned above, much of the exploration of the website contents is normally performed by browsing the various different pages or entering information into the various text fields and having the displayed information automatically adjust. Actual Searches are performed in a parallel manner, by entering the target information into the data fields and then pressing the Search button (or simply hitting Enter). The system then performs a Search across the selected Text, Title, Author, and other information and displays the findings in a new Search Results tab.Searches may be performed on any of these individual pages, or on the Power Search page, which allows for more detailed Searches across all content material.
