Beschreibung
This volume assembles case studies of the diverse processes
and manifestations of emblematic strategies in contemporary
art from an art historical perspective. Traditional
emblematic strategies, such as the combination and
juxtaposition of pictorial and textual elements along with
enigmatic aspects of codification, find their aesthetic
transformation in contemporary art. The contributions
highlight specific ways in which emblematic strategies are
still present in artworks of the 20 th and
21 st centuries.
