New York. 1991. March 1991. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394587529. 179 pages. hardcover. Jacket art is a portrait-'The Artist and His Mother', 1934, by Arshile Gorky. Jacket design by Archie Ferguson. keywords: Literature Essays America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-With wit and passion, Jay Cantor in this sequence of essays tackles some of the philosophical underpinnings of modern life and art. In ‘The Patriarchs, ' American leftist thought of the Sixties, nourished on Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche, meets the post-modern culture of the Eighties, raising questions that will have to be answered in the Nineties. (How can we defeat post-modern irony, post-modern despair? Will we participate in reshaping ourselves or be designed by others? ) The title essay, ‘On Giving Birth to One's Own Mother, ' looks at Arshile Gorky painting and repainting a portrait of his mother and himself and explores the ways in which the artist transforms the loss of those he loves into art-to remake himself and to overcome his sadness. The collection includes, as well, essays on contemporary film (can we again make movies that we will want to splice into our personalities? ); on making history into fiction (can we tell the story in a way that will change the shape of the future? ); on Afro-American jazz, and how its inspired conversation between voices can serve as a model for a new, democratic post-modernism; on great popular art (Krazy Kat) and the endless joy it promises; and on three profound documentary films of the Holocaust, works that offer us a palpable, terrifying knowledge of loss and death, and so a deeper relationship to life. inventory #15224.
