Anthony Howell

Is there an alternative to thinking about art in terms of modernism and post-modernism? Instead, ‘rivers’ of artistic practice are proposed, with two rivers discussed at length in an enquiry that analyses the ‘sublime’ in terms of a fusion of enlargement and the notion of the incomplete. Opposed to the ‘sublime’, the ‘abject’ is a term that is often proposed. Here, Anthony Howell proposes four rivers concerned with beauty and four concerned with ugliness, which can be seen as of equal importance to art – in terms of the grotesque, the immoral, the capricious and the uncanny.
