Download or read book Anne Sauser Hall Edouard Manet written by Anne Sauser-Hall and published by Editions Argol. This book was released on 2007 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Musee d'Orsay invites contemporary artists to dialogue with its collections by picking a work they feel close to. This is an opportunity both to see the collections in a fresh light and to give a novel resonance to their own still active modernity. The Swiss artist Anne Sauser-Hall was impressed with the theatricality of the works of Manet. Without taking up the reality of the pictures, she extracts movements, an instant, with great subtlety and a poetry all her own. For these "Correspondances" she has chosen Manet's The Balcony as her starting point for a brand new video work.
Download or read book Ellsworth Kelly Paul C zanne written by Ann Hindry and published by Editions Argol. This book was released on 2008 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'invitation du musée d'Orsay, des artistes d'aujourd'hui dialoguent avec les collections en choisissant l'œuvre de laquelle ils se sentent proches. Naît ainsi la possibilité de voir les collections sous un nouveau jour. Pour Ellsworth Kelly, peintre abstrait américain né en 1923 à Newburgh, l'important est la structure du tableau - et non son contenu -, et l'espace qui l'entoure. Nourri de l'architecture romane, il a toujours été attentif au travail de la structure notamment chez Cézanne. L'essai d'Ann Hindry sur le travail et le parcours de Kelly, et leur entretien, donnent les clés pour découvrir son œuvre et comprendre son dialogue avec L'Estaque de Paul Cézanne.

Download or read book Emmanuel Saulnier Odilon Redon written by Serge Lemoine and published by Editions Argol. This book was released on 2007 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l'invitation du musée d'Orsay, des artistes d'aujourd'hui dialoguent avec les collections en choisissant l'œuvre de laquelle ils se sentent proches. Naît ainsi la possibilité de voir les collections sous un nouveau jour. Subtiles et poétiques, les sculptures d'Emmanuel Saulnier, artiste français né en 1952, déploient un autre rapport au socle, au sol, à la terre, dans le paradoxe des matériaux utilisés, fragiles ou solides. Il a choisi d'installer son œuvre Ben Irakim. Je suis loin en correspondance avec la figure d'Odilon Redon et en particulier un dessin représentant Une tête coupée placée sur une table carrelée... Pour Saulnier, Redon donne une autre voie à la notion de déplacement, partir et partir loin, en proclamant l'impérieuse nécessité d'intérioriser ce déplacement, le rendant ainsi plus profond et plus intense.

Download or read book Painted Love written by Hollis Clayson and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engrossing book, Hollis Clayson provides the first description and analysis of French artistic interest in women prostitutes, examining how the subject was treated in the art of the 1870s and 1880s by such avant-garde painters as Cézanne, Degas, Manet, and Renoir, as well as by the academic and low-brow painters who were their contemporaries. Clayson not only illuminates the imagery of prostitution-with its contradictory connotations of disgust and fascination-but also tackles the issues and problems relevant to women and men in a patriarchal society. She discusses the conspicuous sexual commerce during this era and the resulting public panic about the deterioration of social life and civilized mores. She describes the system that evolved out of regulating prostitutes and the subsequent rise of clandestine prostitutes who escaped police regulation and who were condemned both for blurring social boundaries and for spreading sexual licentiousness among their moral and social superiors. Clayson argues that the subject of covert prostitution was especially attractive to vanguard painters because it exemplified the commercialization and the ambiguity of modern life.

Reeling from a sudden breakup, she’s taken on an unsuitable new lover and finds herself rummaging through a secondhand shop to buy him a birthday gift. A dusty, anonymous old painting catches her eye. After spending her meager savings on the artwork, Annie prepares an exquisite birthday dinner for two—only to be stood up. The painting becomes hers, and Annie begins to suspect that it may be more valuable than she’d thought. Soon she finds herself pursued by parties who would do anything to possess her picture: an exiled Russian oligarch, an avaricious sheikha, an unscrupulous art dealer. In her search for the painting’s identity, Annie will unwittingly discover some of the darkest secrets of European history—and the possibility of falling in love again.

Book excerpt: "The autobiography of a garden is a set of twelve plates by Andrew Raftery. Based on drawings and paintings of the artist working in his garden during the twelve months of the calendar year, the images were engraved on copperplates. From the copper they were printed onto special decals that were then applied to the twelve earthenware plates, 12.5 inches in diameter, designed by the artist to receive the images. Each month is identified on the reverse by an engraved backstamp. The plates were produced at the Rhode Island School of Design between 2012 and 2016 in an edition of 80. They were first exhibited from September through November 2016 at the Ryan Lee Gallery in New York City."--page [1].
Download or read book In Defiance of Painting written by Christine Poggi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of collage by Picasso and Braque in 1912 proved to be a dramatic turning point in the development of Cubism and Futurism and ultimately one of the most significant innovations in twentieth-century art. Collage has traditionally been viewed as a new expression of modernism, one allied with modernism's search for purity of means, anti-illusionism, unity, and autonomy of form. This book - the first comprehensive study of collage and its relation to modernism - challenges this view. Christine Poggi argues that collage did not become a new language of modernism but a new language with which to critique modernism. She focuses on the ways Cubist collage - and the Futurist multimedia work that was inspired by it - undermined prevailing notions of material and stylistic unity, subverted the role of the frame and pictorial ground, and brought the languages of high and low culture into a new relationship of exchange.

Download or read book The Pen and the Brush written by Anka Muhlstein and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scintillating glimpse into the lives of acclaimed writers and artists and their inspiring, often surprising convergences, from the author of Monsieur Proust's Library With the wit and penetration well known to readers of Anka Muhlstein’s previous books, The Pen and the Brush revisits the delights of the French novel. This time she focuses on late 19th- and 20th-century writers--Balzac, Zola, Proust, Huysmans, and Maupassant--through the lens of their passionate involvement with the fine arts. She delves into the crucial role that painters play as characters in their novels, which she pairs with an exploration of the profound influence that painting exercised on the novelists' techniques, offering an intimate view of the intertwined worlds of painters and writers at the time. Muhlstein's deftly chosen vignettes bring to life a portrait of the nineteenth century's tight-knit artistic community, where Cézanne and Zola befriended each other as boys and Balzac yearned for the approval of Delacroix. She leads the reader on a journey of spontaneous discovery as she explores how a great painting can open a mind and spark creative fire.
