For information on re-use, please refer to the publisher’s terms and conditions. abstract: This chapter examines modern art’s educational legacy and finds both a continuum of values and the fractured ideals of half realized endeavors. Atypically it crisscrosses boundaries between art education for children and the education of artists exploring moments of conjunction between modernism, progressive education, avant-gardism and alternative forms of pedagogy. The impossibility of doing justice to a chronology of modern art education in a single chapter is circumvented by instead responding to Brian O’Doherty’s invitation to narrativize selective “tales” of modernism in an evocation of Aesop’s fables. Modernism’s enduring parables of charismatic teachers, personal freedom, and radical democracy may have come under scrutiny and been found wanting, but they also remain remarkably persistent. As significant social values once attached to art education continued to be erased the value of these parables as mnemonic antidotes to twenty-first-century neoliberalism should not be underestimated. date: 2018-01 date_type: published publisher: John Wiley & Sons official_url: https://www.wiley.com/en-gb/A+Companion+to+Modern+Art-p-9781118639849 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1523431 doi: 10.1002/9781118639948 isbn_13: 9781118639849 lyricists_name: Robins, Claire lyricists_id: CEROB72 actors_name: Robins, Claire actors_id: CEROB72 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted number: 23 place_of_pub: Hoboken, NJ, USA pagerange: 425-451 isbn: 1118639847 book_title: A Companion to Modern Art citation: Robins, CE; (2018) A Modern Art Education.
