As the iconography of the Deposition grew in importance over the course of the fifteenth century, picturing the Deposition of Christ~ the imago Dei, "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15) ~ became an occasion to imagine the deposition of the image as such. By exploiting the auto~iconoclastic implications of the deposition scene, artists gave measured form to late medieval iconophobia. In so doing, they prefigured the imminent iconoclasms of the Protestant Reformation. Wanting to put an end to the Catholic cult of images, Protestant reformers would find themselves performing a well~rehearsed gesture: the deposition of what they liked to call dead images. The late medieval Deposition's prefiguration of Reformation iconoclasm prefigures, in turn, the repeated "deaths" of art since the invention of the camera. This is the premise of the vignettes devoted to twentieth~century works of art that conclude each chapter of this book.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. In 2015 the Renaissance Society presented an exhibition of newly commissioned works by Los Angeles-based artist Mathias Poledna. Coinciding with the museum's centennial, it marked the final show in the institution's first hundred years. For this project Poledna used the notion of iconoclasm and its various historical contexts as a conceptual backdrop for two new works: a 35-mm film installation, co-produced with and premiering at the Renaissance Society, and a substantial alteration to the gallery space: the demolition, dismantling and removal of the gallery's ceiling structure, a steel truss grid that had horizontally bisected the double-height gallery since 1967. This catalog-featuring a cover designed by artist Peter Downsbrough-documents the exhibition and its installation, and in doing so celebrates a century of the Renaissance Society.…
