formalism, Clement Greenberg, Yve-Alain BoisAbstract
By way of a meticulous rebbutal of his being insistently “accused” of a Grenberguian formalism, the author retorts his “accusers”, declaring his deep connexions with historical trends of formalism, whose origins go back to Alois Riegl, Russian Formalism and Structuralism – miles away, he remarks, from Greenberg’s idealist search for a subliminatory idea of form. Contrary to the critic’s condemnation of any injuntion of meaning wathsoever in the discussion of an art work, Yve-Alain Bois declares emphatically, throught this article, his vivid interest in its historical signification and his conviction in the embededness of form in a historical matter.
