Endless Enigma takes as its point of departure Alfred H. Barr Jr.s legendary 1936 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art  New York  Fantastic Art  Dada  Surrealism  which not only introduced these movements to the American public  but also placed them in a historical and cultural context by situating them with artists from earlier centuries.  Presenting works from the twelfth century to the present day  this catalogue is organized into six themesMonsters \u0026amp; Demons  Dreams \u0026amp; Temptation  Fragmented Body  Unconscious Gesture  Super Nature  and Sense of Place. Works included range from medieval gargoyles to twentieth-century works by Louise Bourgeois  Sigmar Polke  and Pablo Picasso as well as contemporary works by Michal Borremans  Marcel Dzama  and Raymond Pettibon. Masterworks from the likes of Piero di Cosimo  Francisco de Goya  and Titian are considered alongside those by William Blake and Odilon Redon. Time folds and temporal barriers collapse when Damiano Cappelli meets Edvard Munch  and Salvator Rosa encounters Luc Tuymans and Lisa Yuskavage. Salvador Dal  Sherrie Levine  Giuseppe Arcimboldo  Kerry James Marshalleight centuries intersect and  as such  this wide-ranging catalogue examines affinities in intention and imagery between works executed across a broad span of time.  Organized in collaboration with Nicholas Hall  a specialist in the field of Old Masters and nineteenth-century art  this fully illustrated catalogue is published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner  New York  in 2018. It includes new scholarship by Dawn Ades  Olivier Berggruen  and J. Patrice Marandel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652164116533,"sku":"ByrdShop_1941701884","price":67.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781941701881.jpg?v=1781849653","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/endless-enigma-eight-centuries-of-fantastic-art-9781941701881","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
