Zusammenfassung:Leo Steinberg’s early critical essays, particularly ‘Contemporary Art and the Plight of its Public’ (1962) proposed a kind of criticism which we could describe as ‘provisional,’ acknowledging the fundamentally contingent nature of Modernism, with its recurrent upheavals. Steinberg’s arguments were partially motivated by his objection to the Modernist trajectory established by Clement Greenberg, a trajectory which delineated a definitive Modernist canon, established by the critic’s practised taste. Steinberg’s critical model, however, is both more ‘yielding,’ and more explicitly interpretative. But despite the profound sense of doubt which permeates the Modernist condition, Steinberg’s suggests a position which need not necessarily succumb to a debilitating scepticism.
