Abstract

Clement Greenberg
Danto, Arthur C. | May 30, 1994 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on Clement Greenberg, an art critic. His early recognition and advocacy of artists whose achievements were in time universally acknowledged, as well as for his almost single-handed defense of what he termed "American-style painting" at a time when it was almost categorical that the School of Paris defined aesthetic modernism, that gave Greenberg his unmatched credibility. His tireless efforts to come to terms with the most advanced art of his time, finding bases for making critical judgments when there was very little by way of guidance in previous critical practice, that assures him a place in the tiny canon of great art-writers.
