FROM DADA TO DIDI: Beckett and the Art of His Century
View through CrossRef
This discussion aims to look at Beckett as both a primary inheritor and innovator of the art of his own century. Beginning with Beckett's formative years in the Paris of the 1930s, this project takes a step back from one-to-one correspondences in order to localize the many ways in which an exciting cultural and historical matrix gives rise to a compatibility of aesthetic concerns. Beckett makes art new, but his art is also constructed as new, nourished and reinvented again and again, by the ongoing resonances it uncovers in the artistic exploration so characteristic of his own moment in history.
