Motion and Rest in Modern Art from Caspar David Friedrich to Ai Weiwei
Text by Hartmut Rosa, Hartmut Böhme.
From Manet to Marinetti, modern art has explored and espoused acceleration. It is rarely if ever acknowledged that a contrary trajectory of deceleration has been pursued, from the Romantic painters with their solitary reveries to the “slow painting” of a Mark Rothko or Franz Gertsch. This volume recruits sociologists and scientists alongside an array of artists.
