Book excerpt: Giacometti fut un des artistes les plus importants du XXe, siècle. En rupture aussi bien avec la tradition figurative qu'avec les recherches contemporaines qui donnaient priorité au jeu des signes sur le questionnement de la condition humaine, il a élaboré un art qui atteste avec gravité, et une intensité sans égale, de la présence des autres êtres, la devant lui pour leur moment d'existence. Un art qui n'est doue pas seulement de l'art, mais une prise de position métaphysique et morale, de celles dont la société a besoin : d'où l'immense adhésion qu'il suscita. Yves Bonnefoy, qui a connu Giacometti et lui a consacré naguère une étude extrêmement détaillée, dégage à grands traits aujourd'hui ce que furent cet esprit et son oeuvre.

Download or read book Gisbert Combaz 1869 1941 written by Jane Block and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gisbert Combaz is among a handful of turn-of-the century poster artists to create a personal style that is still recognizable today. His posters for the exhibition society La Libre Esthetique and his sets of postcards are as prized now as they were in Combaz's day. As this lavishly illustrated book reveals, however, Combaz was also an accomplished graphic artist, painter, and art critic who made important contributions to Western understanding of the art of the Far East and was an inspiring teacher to several generations of Belgian artists. For this thoroughly researched first study of Combaz's life, the author consulted family documents, unpublished photographs, works in private collections, and institutional and governmental archives to offer a full assessment of the man and his oeuvre. Included are a biographical essay and an analysis of his major works, with extensive documentation of his 24 posters.

Book excerpt: Catalogue de l'exposition s'interrogeant sur la notion de "beau" au XXe siècle, insistant sur la polémique et la politisation du débat dans les années 80 et 90.

Peut on trouver de la beauté dans la laideur ? Ce livre souligne le fait que la beauté n'a pas disparu du dialogue de l'art et qu'elle a persisté comme élément essentiel dans l'évolution de l'art tout au long du 20ème siècle.

Book excerpt: Volume 2 deals with a crucial decade in Moore's career. Now enjoying a steady income from his post as sculptor and tutor at the Royal College of Art, he was able to devote more time to working on his own sculpture and drawings. It was this time that Moore began his series of Transformation Drawings. Objets trouvés picked up on the beach - lobster claws, animal bones or worn pebbles - became in Moore's imagination reclining figures or mothers holding children. Some of these sketches were developed into the large sculptures of reclining figures with holes at their centre for which Moore is so well-known.
