Abstract

In 'Roman Eyes', Jas Elsner seeks to understand the multiple ways that art in ancient Rome formulated the very conditions for its own viewing, and as a result was complicit in the construction of subjectivity in the Roman Empire. Elsner draws upon a wide variety of visual material, from sculpture and wall paintings to coins and terra-cotta statuettes. He examines the different contexts in which images were used, from the religious to the voyeuristic, from the domestic to the subversive. He reads images alongside and against the rich literary tradition of the Greco-Roman world, including travel writing, prose fiction, satire, poetry, mythology, and pilgrimage accounts. The astonishing picture that emerges reveals the mindsets Romans had when they viewed art--their preoccupations and theories, their cultural biases and loosely held beliefs. 'Roman Eyes' is not a history of official public art--the monumental sculptures, arches, and buildings we typically associate with ancient Rome, and that tend to dominate the field. Rather, Elsner looks at smaller objects used or displayed in private settings and closed religious rituals, including tapestries, ivories, altars, jewelry, and even silverware. In many cases, he focuses on works of art that no longer exist, providing a rare window into the aesthetic and religious lives of the ancient Romans.

Abstract

Cette exposition s'attache à la genèse du courant de l'abstraction. L'éclosion de l'art abstrait dans les années 1910 marque l'aboutissement logique d'une lente évolution qui eut lieu tout au long du XIXe siècle et qui ne concerne pas seulement la peinture, mais aussi les sciences et les techniques, la littérature et la philosophie, la musique. L'exposition présente un vaste domaine, et propose des idées neuves, des interprétations inédites qui rompent avec un certain conformisme de pensée. En fin d'ouvrage une chronologie de 1800 à 1914 en sciences et techniques & en art et esthétique nous est proposé
