Identity, Engagement, Judgment: Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, Then and Now
The Salo W. Baron Program
What lessons can be learned from Greenberg and Rosenberg, rival art critics who were instrumental in defining the terms and consequence of postwar American art? How effective and appropriate do their words and arguments seem now? How can the artistic present, which is partly defined by anxiety about the impact and legitimacy of art criticism, judge and use their achievements? Scholar-critics open unexpected passages between that moment and ours.
