About this product
Product Information
Why do images of entertainers abound in European literature and art since Romanticism? From Baudelaire to Picasso, from Daumier to Fellini, mimes, clowns, aerialists, and jesters recur in major works by continental artists. In Art as Spectacle , Naomi Ritter investigates this phenomenon and offers explanations that transcend the array of works discussed. Her analysis implies much about the triangle of creator, work, and audience that inevitably controls art. Although a broadly comparative study underlies Art as Spectacle, the book focuses mainly on examples from Germany and France. Three areas of argument-identification, primitivism, and transcendence-account for the performer's ubiquity in the arts of the last two centuries. Ritter shows that writers, painters, choreographers, and filmmakers have persistently identified with the entertainer, whose roots lie in primitive ritual: a source of all art. Accordingly, the artist also sees the player as morally or spiritually elevated. With three chapters on literature, a chapter comparing poetry to painting, and a chapter each on dance, the visual arts, and film, Art as Spectacle offers unprecedented scope on a compelling topic in comparative studies. By integrating such varied material into an original commentary on the image of the entertainers, this book provides an invaluable resource for all the disciplines it touches.

Reviews
"A rich and fascinating book, comparative in the fullest sense, which has much to offer almost any professional or amateur student of European literature or of the graphic or performing arts."--Comparative Literature, "Art as Spectacle is a fascinating scholarly study that has been in the makings for twenty years. Ritter, thoroughly familiar with her subject, explores with ease and point multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary questions revolving around the abundance of circus figures in modern literature."--Nineteenth-Century French Studies, "This is clearly a scrupulously researched, deeply considered study. It engages an important topic with a breadth that should make it uniquely useful to anyone who seeks to understand the place of the popular theater in the artistic imagination."--Theatre Journal

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
