Meyer Schapiro: Thinking Between Art and the 20th Century (London, 19 Mar 20)

Courtauld Institute of Art, London, Mar 19, 2020 Registration deadline: Mar 19, 2020

Oliver O'Donnell

Meyer Schapiro (1904-1996) was a dazzling midcentury entrepôt of ideas, bridging the worlds of artists and intellectuals in ways that are truly incomparable. Just as he impressed Noam Chom- sky, beseeched Walter Benjamin, and critiqued Martin Heidegger, so too did he mentor Robert Motherwell, assist Barnett Newman, and inspire Fernand Léger. Schapiro’s interstitial position between high art and high academe, however, has made him difficult to understand. Most scholar- ship about him isolates different aspects or moments of his life — his early Marxism, his forays into psychoanalysis, his relations with practicing artists, or his late semiotics. Stepping back, this workshop seeks to draw inspiration from Schapiro’s very position in an uncertain middle ground.

As a medievalist but modernist, Cold War socialist but Cold War American, documentarian but the- oretician, Meyer Schapiro was perpetually, indeed in many ways by definition, in between. Com- bined with the longevity of his career, the medial nature of Schapiro’s work can serve as a power- ful prism for rethinking some of the most consequential historical transitions through which he lived, for instance from modernism to postmodernism, from humanism to neo-liberalism.
