Description

Product Description Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts is the first book to comprehensively assess Beckett's knowledge of art, art history and art criticism. In his lifetime Beckett thought deeply about visual culture from ancient Egyptian statuary to Dutch realism, from Quattrocento painting to the modernists and after. Drawing on a wide range of published and unpublished sources, this book traces in forensic detail the development of Beckett's understanding of painting in particular, as that understanding developed from the late 1920s to the 1970s. In doing so it demonstrates that Beckett's thinking about art and aesthetics radically changes in the course of his life, often directly responding to the intellectual and historical contexts in which he found himself. Moving fluently between art history, philosophy, literary analysis and historical context, Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts rethinks the trajectory of Beckett's career, and reorients his relationship to modernism, late modernism and the avant-gardes. Review 'Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts convincingly shows that knowledge about Beckett's engagement with visual art will be essential for how future critics will answer these questions.' Kevin Brazil, The Review of English Studies Book Description This book outlines Beckett's passion for the visual arts as he developed his signature style between the 1930s and 1970s. About the Author Conor Carville is Associate Professor in English and Creative Writing at the University of Reading. His book The Ends of Ireland: Criticism, History, Subjectivity appeared in 2012 and a volume of poetry, Harm's Way, was published in 2013. His writing on art has appeared in Frieze and Circa.
