Public Monuments: Art in Political Bondage, 1870-1997（中图特价艺术书） 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Public monuments to significant individuals or to political

concepts are all too familiar. But the notions underlying them are

not so obvious. Sergiusz Michalski traces the history of the public

monument from the 1870s, when erecting them became an artistic,

political and social pre-occupation, to today when the distinction

between public monuments and public sculpture is increasingly

blurred. The author shows how, in its golden age – up until 1914 –

the public monument served the purpose of both education and

legitimization. The French Third Republic, for example, envisaged

the monument as a symbol of bourgeois meritocracy. In more recent

decades, the public monument has been charged with the task of

commemorating and symbolizing one of humankind's most terrible

catastrophes - the Holocaust. Today, although the artistic failure

of countless European war memorials has signaled the beginning of

the demise of the public monument in the West, it continues to

flourish elsewhere, commemorating despotic leaders from Kim Il Sung

to Saddam Hussein.
