Yet modern art refuses to abide by Hegels programmed demise. Publisher Description In this 1999 study, Beat Wyss provides a critical analysis of Hegels theories of art history. Analogous to his philosophy of history, Hegel viewed the history of art in dialectical terms: with its origins in the Ancient Near East, Western art culminated in Classical Greece, but began its decline already in the Hellenistic period. Yet, as Wyss posits, art refuses its programmed demise. He highlights the political dimension of this contradiction, showing the implication of theories which subordinate art to the will of absolute rule. Wyss follows his analysis of Hegels theories with a discussion of the work of four modern successors - Nordau, Spengler, Sedlmayr and Lukacs - all of whom adapted Hegels dialectical model, in an effort to demonstrate the central contradictions of twentieth-century aesthetics.
