The End - Carel Blotkamp
When is a work of art finished? And who decides? Can it be complete in a mental sense?
He examines the value of the last works of artists, considering how a particular end came about and how that might affect our perception of the work; the difference in the styles of artists in old age; unfinished last works and those completed by another's hand; and the mythology inherent in the reception of last works, taking the last works of Raphael and Mondrian as prime examples. In this highly original and wide-ranging study, Carel Blotkamp explores the concept and manifestations of 'the end' in art.From the idea of a mortal end to the notion of completeness, Blotkamp describes a fascinating array of historical facts and myths as well as novels on art and artists. For students, artists and art enthusiasts looking for a new perspective on modern art, The End is the perfect place to start.
