Seen in a continuum beginning with Abstract Expressionist Painting, building to Chamberlain’s assemblages, and ending with Happenings, the artists of this period were striving to make an art of the everyday, and Chamberlain’s work was representative as such. The idea of the everyday is that it is in constant change and that objects we encounter on a daily basis deliver signs of their placement in the social hierarchy, according to sociologist Henri Lefebvre. Chamberlain’s assemblages are constructed from automobile detritus, and therefore have associations with the automobile and everything that automobiles represent. Along with an in-depth discussion of the social, political, and economic conditions of possibility surrounding the creation of Chamberlain’s work, this thesis will also offer the first comprehensive assessment of critical response to Chamberlain’s early work. 2006-05-15 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1147714752 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1147714752 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
