Description

"Max Kozloff's Cultivated Impasses provides a guide to the heated and complex debates that animated the art world of the sixties and seventies. Virtually every idiom of current practice, from conceptual art and body works to multi-media installation, originated in the period he covers here. Kozloff re-examines the traditions of twentieth century modernism from the vantage of his frontline post as a critic in the seventies. More than that, in writings that have an edge, he analyzes the moral paradoxes and conflicting interests that marked the waning of the avant-garde, an event of continuing historical importance."--BOOK JACKET.
