He is also known for having written some of the most thoughtful  provocative  and influential essays of his generation. From \"The Legacy of Jackson Pollock\" in 1958 to \"The Meaning of Life\" in 1990  Kaprow has conducted a sustained philosophical inquiry into the paradoxical relationship of art to life  and thus into the nature of meaning itself. With the publication of this book  twenty-three of Kaprows most significant essays are brought together in one volume for the first time.  Kaprow charts his own evolution as an artist and also comments on contemporaneous developments in the arts. From the modernist avant-garde of the fifties to the current postmodern fin de sicle  Kaprow has written aboutand from withinthe shifting  blurring boundaries of genre  media  culture  and experience. Edited and introduced by critic Jeff Kelley  these essays bring into crisp focus the thinking of one of the most influential figures in the varied landscape of American art since the late 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651660210229,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520070666","price":131.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520070660.jpg?v=1781837131","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/essays-on-the-blurring-of-art-and-life-volume-3-lannan-series-9780520070660","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
