The author contends that questions of "disposition" are vital to understanding a key transitional period in the history of Western modernism. Around 1885, avant-garde artists began to present human figures in strictly frontal, lateral, and dorsal postures. The effect, compared with standard, classical representations of the human figure, was both archaic and advanced, in keeping with contemporary theories of evolution and human psychology. These new ways of posing figures was how modern artists challenged long, deeply held assumptions about human consciousness and the human being's privileged status in the world. Featured are three major works: the painting Poseuses (1886-1888) by the French Neo-Impressionist artist Georges Seurat; the Beethovenfries mural (1902) by the Austrian Secessionist painter Gustav Klimt; and the ballet L'Apres-midi d'un faune (1912) by the Russian dancer and Ballets Russes choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky. Each work created an uproar when first presented. They were meant to be manifestos for the new values of a modern world and to overturn the superior, cerebral, moral status of the human subject"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Seurat, Georges, $d 1859-1891. $t Sunday afternoon on the island of la Grande Jatte. 600 10 $a Klimt, Gustav, $d 1862-1918. $t Beethoven frieze. 630 00 $a Afternoon of a faun (Choreographic work : Nijinsky) 630 07 $a Afternoon of a faun (Choreographic work : Nijinsky) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01385539 630 07 $a Beethoven frieze (Klimt, Gustav) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01363065 630 07 $a Sunday afternoon on the island of la Grande Jatte (Seurat, Georges) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356504 650 0 $a Human figure in art. 650 0 $a Art, Modern. 650 7 $a Art, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816615 650 7 $a Human figure in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896063 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226745183 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=851A11168FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
