Analyzes the myth of the artist in western culture.The myth of the artist-genius has long had a unique hold on the imagination of Western culture. Iconoclastic, temperamental, and free from the constraints of society, these towering figures have been treated as fixed icons regardless of historical context or individual situation. In The Absolute Artist, Catherine M. Soussloff challenges this view in an engaging consideration of the social construction of the artist from the fifteenth century to the present.Traditional art history has held that the concept of the artist-genius arose in the Enlightenment. Soussloff disputes this, arguing that earlier writings -- artists' biographies written as long ago as the early fifteenth century -- determined and continue to determine our understanding of the myth of the artist. Moving chronologically, Soussloff shifts from fifteenth-century Florence to nineteenth-century Germany, the birthplace of the discipline of art history in its academic form, and considers the cultural historiography of Aby Warburg and Jacob Burckhardt. She discusses intellectual life in early-twentieth-century Vienna, demonstrating the rich cross-fertilization that occurred between art history and psychoanalysis, and scrutinizes the historical situation of Jewish art historians and psychoanalysts in Vienna in the 1930s, considering the impact of exile and an assimilationist ethic on the discourse of art history.Soussloff concludes with a groundbreaking analysis of one of the earliest and most persistent elements of biography, the "artist anecdote," demonstrating that it is essential in the construction of the figure of the artist. Singular in its breadth and ambition, The Absolute Artist is the first book to analyze the artist's biography as a rhetorical form and literary genre rather than as an unassailable source of fact and knowledge.

评分分析艺术家这个概念在艺术史中的变化,说明它既是被这个学科、社会和政治定义的,又同时限定着这门学科的方法。主要从艺术家传记的文体着手去分析这个概念在学科中和社会中的定位。
