Greenberg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark

Greenberg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark. Thirty years after the heyday of Abstract Expressionism, one of its principal champions sat down with historian T. J. Clark to discuss the evolution of art criticism and issues surrounding modernist painting. This program documents their conversation, spotlighting Clement Greenberg’s reflections on his career and its place in the wider arenas of art theory, art journalism, and the philosophy of aesthetics. While he frequently deflates the seriousness of many of his earlier pronouncements, Greenberg shares a number of insights on the relationship between art and history, the nature of value judgments in criticism, and what he calls America’s post-WWII “culture boom.” Produced by the Open University.
