Content:
Charles Harrison conducts us on a tour of selected works in the Tate Gallery, London, exploring different ways of thinking about how works of art represent and, in that sense, have meaning. We tend to expect paintings to be pictures, even though this expectation is not always justified (Kandinsky). Some works represent without being pictures at all (abstracts - Poliakoff). Harrison considers what makes a painting `modern,' starting with Cézanne and moving through Braque, Grosz, Dali, Miró, Jack Smith and Léger, to show how the illusionistic devices of painting become decoupled from the rational compositional themes within which they had previously been controlled.
