Against Interpretation by Susan Sontag
with hannah_g
In 1964, Susan Sontag published her game-changing essay, “Against Interpretation”. In it she argued that art criticism had become too cerebral, rather than a response to the work itself, without artifice. Sontag’s direct and occasionally acerbic admonishment is as refreshing now as it was nearly 50 years ago. As art criticism has become more rarified, her analysis seems prescient.
