Vertrekpunt is het schema over de oorsprong van de abstracte kunst tussen 1890-1936 van de eerste directeur van het MOMA Alfred H. Barr. - Genealogies of Art analyzes the visual representations of art history made by artists, critics, designers, theorists and poets alike, from the genealogical trees of the 12th through the 15th centuries and the Renaissance to more recent information graphics, including paintings, sketches, maps, plans, prints, drawings and diagrams. The conceptual core of the book is the famed chart that Alfred H. Barr, first director of the Museum of Modern Art, composed for the cover of his landmark exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art in 1936, which sought to trace the origins of abstract art from 1890 to 1936. Around this paradigmatic chart is gathered a tremendous pageant of works by great polymaths and thinkers, including Guy Debord's situationist maps ; the Guerrilla Girls' "Guerrillas in the Midst of History" ; Athanasius Kircher's baroque-era trees of knowledge ; George Maciunas' Fluxus diagrams ; André Malraux's Museum without Walls ; Otto Neurath's charts and isotypes ; Ad Reinhardt's collaged histories of art; Ward Shelley's Who Invented the Avant-Garde? ; Maurice Stein, Larry Miller and Marshall Henrichs' Blueprint for Counter Education ; Aby Warburg's legendary Mnemosyne Atlas; and many others.
