Barr's Original Schematic (Art History Part B)

This schematic is from the jacket cover of the first edition of Cubism and Abstract Art, written by Barr, Alfred H., MOMA 1936. He was an influential American art historian, b. Detroit, taught art history at several colleges and was the first director of the Museum of Modern Art, New York City. He organized more than 100 museum exhibitions and wrote a number of standard art history texts. These include Cubism and Abstract Art (1936); Picasso (1946); Matisse (1951).

(Performance Art) Histories Part A

Although performance art sounds new it has a long history. Bruce Barber (artist, writer, curator currently teaching at NSCAD in Halifax) illustrates a version of this history below with his "detournement" (subversive update) from original map by Alfred H.Barr printed on the jacket (orig. edition) of Barr's classic text "Cubism and Abstract Art", MOMA 1936.
