Titres dans Histoire et critique de l'art

Nella ricerca di Massimo Recalcati nei territori della psiche, da decenni l'arte occupa un posto centrale. È a essa, e in particolare alla pittura, che Recalcati torna continuamente, immergendosi nella profondità della dimensione creativa per mettere alla prova e temprare gli strumenti teorici della psicanalisi lacaniana.

The Salome Ensemble probes the entangled lives, works, and passions of a political activist, a novelist, a screenwriter, and a movie actress who collaborated in 1920s New York City. Together they created the shape-shifting, genre-crossing Salome of the Tenements, first a popular novel and then a Hollywood movie. The title character was a combination Cinderella and Salome like the women who conceived her. Ginsberg considers the women individually and collectively.

The tendency for art to detach itself from any duty to reflect observed reality manifested itself in avant-garde art production almost from the beginnings of the Modern Movement in art. It is already present in pure form in Malevich’s drastically reductive Black Square, which consists of exactly that, a black square on a white ground. It is interesting to note the way in which this work was exhibited when it was first put before the public.

While the majority of scholarship on early Washington focuses on its political and physical development, in Incidental Architect Gordon S. Brown describes the intellectual and social scene of the late 1700s through the lives of a prominent couple whose cultural aspirations served as both model and mirror for the city’s own.

More than 30 years ago - in 1977, to be exact - I co-authored a book called Work and Struggle: The Painter as Witness. Its subject was one aspect of the academic painting of the late 19th and very early 20th century - art which dealt not with the comfortable lives of the rich but with all the social problems of the time. There were over 200 illustrations, most of them drawn from publications issued in conjunction with the official Salons of the period, but when we searched for these, they were largely missing.

Ascolta e scopri il capolavoro del pittore spagnolo. Francisco Goya è una delle figure di spicco dell'arte spagnola a cavallo tra XVIII e XIX secolo. Oltre al suo dipinto più famoso, "Maja desnuda", fu autore di diversi ritratti per regnanti, duchi e nobili, ma anche di incisioni e paesaggi. Visse in un periodo di grandi cambiamenti politici e sociali e fu uno dei principali "fotografi" degli eventi dell'epoca, tra cui le rappresaglie dell'esercito francese di Napoleone sulla gente comune in Spagna.

Ascolta e scopri il capolavoro del Rinascimento italiano. Tra la fine del Quattrocento e i primi anni del Cinquecento in Italia, a Milano e a Firenze, si aprì la stagione del Rinascimento maturo con l'emergere di figure straordinarie: Leonardo, Bramante, Raffaello e, naturalmente, Michelangelo Buonarroti. Michelangelo fu un artista assolutamente geniale, la cui attività spaziò dalla scultura, alla pittura, all'architettura, alla scrittura di poesie e nei primi tre campi vi lasciò un segno indelebile.

The term avant-garde continues to be used, in my opinion with far too much frequency, in discussions of contemporary art. It derives, of course, from military terminology, and implies that the art to which it is applied is somehow ahead of the game. It’s worth taking a look at how this assumption works in practice. Essentially, Western and now world art has witnessed the emergence of a series of avant-gardes since just before the third quarter of the 19th century.

In September 1972, three graduates rented two floors above a cash and carry warehouse at 65A Lisson Street, West London. After a couple of months, one emptied his studio, the first floor front room, and opened the space for exhibitions. There followed a spate of invented artists which made humorous comments on the high-flown conceptual arena. In 1974, the gallery strengthened its identity with the Gallery London Displays, a series developed with sculptor Vaughan Grylls.

Tarea es la de pintar a Don Quijote hasta más difícil que la de hinchar un perro. No ya ilustrar la obra imperecedera de Cervantes, sino vestir de carne visible y concreta un espíritu individual y vivo, no mera idea abstracta. Con escrupuloso cuidado me he entretenido en entresacar de las páginas vivas de El Ingenioso Hidalgo, cuantos pasajes se refieren más o menos directamente a los caracteres físicos de Don Quijote. Invito al lector a que divaguemos un poco acerca de la expresión pictórica de este símbolo vivo.

This is the beautifully told story of charismatic and unconventional pop artist Martin Sharp, from his lonely privileged childhood to the heady days of the underground magazine Oz to Swinging London and beyond. Sharp blurred the boundaries of high art and low; he drew rock stars and reprobates into his world, collaborated with Eric Clapton, obsessively championed eccentric singer Tiny Tim, was haunted by Sydney's Luna Park and, paradoxically, became a recluse whose phone never stopped ringing.

It is an enthralling and unexpected selection, and the anthology resonates beyond this showing. It is from the Eric and Louise Franck collection, which has been donated to the Tate, and is part of the process by which the gallery has very belatedly, but with almost overwhelming enthusiasm, entered into collecting and showing photography as a medium in in its own right, with a very active patrons group supporting acquisitions. One of the benefits of Tate joining the fray is evident in the installation of this show.

After Andy is Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni's insider's account of working in Andy Warhol's studio and Interview magazine and explores Warhol's impact on the art world, pop culture, society, and fashion - and how his iconic status gave rise to some of our most influential tastemakers today.

Désormais confronté à la dispersion des lieux de culture, à la diversité des œuvres présentées, à leur nombre croissant tout comme à celui des publications qui les concernent, le public paraît aujourd'hui déboussolé par l'irruption de l'art contemporain. Que penser en effet de ces chefs-d'œuvre qui n'en sont peut-être pas ? Ou plutôt : comment les penser ?
