Download or read book Rebeyrolle written by Paul Rebeyrolle and published by Somogy éditions d'art. This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artiste incontournable de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, Paul Rebeyrolle a développé pendant plusieurs décennies une oeuvre organisée par séries successives, interrogeant sans compromission la nature, le politique, la société et ses travers. Violent, passionné, irréductible aux modes et aux usages, son travail assigne à l'art une mission essentielle: celle de faire surgir sur la toile la réalité même, hors de toute concession au bon goût, avec une soif de liberté qui ignore les limites. La violence du monde n'a d'égale que la violence faite à la représentation elle-même; l'artiste s'approprie tout ce qui passe à sa portée: tissus, grillages, colles, cartons, qui révèlent une beauté rageuse devant laquelle le spectateur ne saurait conserver une position confortable, ni rester en retrait. La peinture de Rebeyrolle, au sens propre, s'expose, et embarque avec elle celui qu'elle croise. Elle rejoint en cela la lignée des grands peintres tant admirés de l'artiste: Rubens, Courbet, Géricault, Caravage, dont la puissance évocatrice bouleverse la contemplation.

Download or read book New Perspectives on Sartre written by Adrian van den Hoven and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with a number of topics that have not previously been specifically addressed before in a single text. A chapter on Sartre and religion talks about his thought in relation to Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism, while one on Sartre and children discusses his work in relation to the issues of freedom, pregnancy and autism. Beyond this, there are an additional seven chapters covering a wide variety of topics by leading scholars in the fields of philosophy, literature psychology, history and political thought. While prior publications on Sartre have generally divided his work into two periods, pre-and post-Marxist, this volume deliberately stresses a middle and final period as well. As representative of the middle period, there is an emphasis on Notebooks for an Ethics, while Sartre's last work, Hope Now, is also treated as being philosophically significant in its own right. This approach helps to cast a new light on what Sartre has to say about authenticity, childhood and consciousness as embodied, among other subjects. The volume also addresses many and diverse issues of current interest, including those of freedom, Marxism and Sartre's relation to ethics. There are sections of the book that deal with history and the historical situations that helped to shape Sartre’s thought, as well as articles that deal with Sartre as a specifically French thinker. A chapter deals with Sartre’s relation to women , and here the issues of maternity as problematic, plus authentic, adult relationships are discussed. Finally, in addition to authors in philosophy and literature, there are articles by a child psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist to help to provide new insights on Sartre's work. Even as an academic philosopher Sartre always remained an iconoclast and the aim of this book is, at least partially to capture and provide the reader with insight into this spirit.
Download or read book Foucault Art and Radical Theology written by Petra Carlsson Redell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault wrote prolifically on many topics including, art, religion, and politics. He also eloquently articulated how power structures are formed and how they also might assist resistance and emancipation. This book uses the hermeneutical lens of Foucault’s writings on art to examine the performative, material, and political aspects of contemporary theology. The borderland between philosophy, theology, and art is explored through Foucault’s analyses of artists such as Diego Velázquez, Édouard Manet, René Magritte, Paul Rebeyrolle, and Gerard Fromanger. Here special focus is placed on performativity and materiality—or what the book terms the mystery of things. At successive junctures, the book discovers a postrepresentational critique of transcendence; an enigmatic material sacramentality; playful theopolitical accounts of the transformative force of stupidity and nonsense; and political imagery in motion enabling theological interpretations of contemporary collectives such as Pussy Riot and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. In conversation with contemporary thinkers including Catherine Keller, Louise-Marie Chauvet, John Caputo, Daniel Barber, Mark C. Taylor, Jeffrey W. Robbins, and Mattias Martinson, the book outlines this source of inspiration for contemporary radical theology. This is a book with a fresh and original take on Foucault, art, and theology. As such, it will have great appeal to scholars and academics in theology, religion and the arts, the philosophy of religion, political philosophy, and aesthetics.
Download or read book Assassination of experience by painting Monory written by Jean-François Lyotard and published by Presses Universitaires de Louvain - UCL. This book was released on 2013 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lyotard met Jacques Monory in 1972, and the text on him published at that time was the first that Lyotard dedicated to contemporary art since Discourse, Figure. Lyotard's interest in the plastic arts thus fits fully within the setting of his political preoccupations. The artist-protagonist stages the recurring motifs that fascinate Lyotard: the scene of the crime, the revolver, the woman, the victim, glaciers, deserts, stars. The atmosphere of the essays on Monory is "Californian." Monory's imaginary repertoire goes well beyond the masters of modernity and is in line rather with a "modern contemporary surrealism." Both Lyotard and Monory live the "dilemma of Americanization," the America represented by cinema, fashion, novels, music. It is in this atmosphere that Lyotard and Monory will finally evoke their supreme experience of difference: desire and fear, exultation and a profound malaise. The plastic universe of Monory and the aesthetic meditations of Lyotard are in perfect symbiosis. Sarah Wilson's epilogue thoroughly outlines both the history of a friendship and, at the same time, the intellectual and artistic climate of the 1970s.

Download or read book A painter witness to his time Minaux 1923 1986 written by Hélène Minaux and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary artistic and creative impulse followed WWII dark years. As early as 1946, André Minaux, artist and painter, shared it. His friends were Mourlot (master lithographer), Buffet, Lorjou and Rebeyrolle (painters) and Jean Lacouture (author and historian). His exceptional talent was unveiled by happenstance, fateful events and encouraged by great elders such as Picasso, Cocteau, Vlaminck, F.Desnoyer, Fernand Léger, Raoul Dufy, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Clavé and Lorjou. Minaux kept his distance from fashions and schools of thoughts. Art lovers were seduced by his original and powerful art. Minaux exhibited in galleries, museums and in important private collections worldwide. Also a lithographer, engraver and illustrator, he illustrated Hemingway, Cendrars, Ionesco, Agatha Christie, Giono and Marguerite Duras. He drew the famous last portrait of Gide. He found himself involved in a quarrel of figurative artists against abstracts ones, which was going full swing at the time. A painter’s route through those booming years’ artistic events. Narratives illustrated by artwork reproductions, press clippings, movie extracts, interviews and photos. A surprising life in pursuit of art he always questioned.
Download or read book Space Knowledge and Power written by Stuart Elden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault’s work is rich with implications and insights concerning spatiality, and has inspired many geographers and social scientists to develop these ideas in their own research. This book, the first to engage Foucault’s geographies in detail from a wide range of perspectives, is framed around his discussions with the French geography journal Hérodote in the mid 1970s. The opening third of the book comprises some of Foucault’s previously untranslated work on questions of space, a range of responses from French and English language commentators, and a newly translated essay by Claude Raffestin, a leading Swiss geographer. The rest of the book presents specially commissioned essays which examine the remarkable reception of Foucault’s work in English and French language geography; situate Foucault’s project historically; and provide a series of developments of his work in the contemporary contexts of power, biopolitics, governmentality and war. Contributors include a number of key figures in social/spatial theory such as David Harvey, Chris Philo, Sara Mills, Nigel Thrift, John Agnew, Thomas Flynn and Matthew Hannah. Written in an open and engaging tone, the contributors discuss just what they find valuable - and frustrating - about Foucault’s geographies. This is a book which will both surprise and challenge.
