Abstract

En 1932, le peintre et dessinateur allemand George Grosz s'embarque sur un paquebot, destination New York, pour donner des cours d'été dans une école d'art. Il ne sait pas que ce voyage prépare son installation définitive aux États-Unis, où il restera jusqu'en 1959. Avec soixante photographies pour la plupart inédites, ce livre retrace la découverte par Grosz de la fascinante métropole. L'Amérique est alors plongée dans la Grande Dépression, mais l'énergie de la ville attire déjà de nombreux artistes, qui en feront, après-guerre, le premier centre artistique mondial. Ces photographies aux lignes précises, non dénuées d'humour, sont l'œuvre d'un dessinateur plus que d'un photographe. Elles auraient pu illustrer l'arrivée à New York de Bardamu dans le Voyage au bout de la nuit de Céline, dont elles sont contemporaines. Ralph Jentsch, historien d'art et administrateur de la succession Grosz, relate brièvement la biographie de l'artiste, puis il rappelle l'attirance que ce dernier a toujours éprouvée pour l'Amérique gigantesque et moderne. Il met en relation ce regard photographique avec les créations de Grosz, depuis les années berlinoises - affiches et couvertures de livres politiques, peintures - jusqu'aux dessins, aquarelles et toiles de sa " période américaine ".

Abstract

Imagine a world without things. There would be nothing to describe, explain, remark on, interpret, or complain about. Without things, we would, in short, stop speaking ; we would become as mute as objects are alleged to be. In nine original essays, internationally renowned historians of art and of science seek to understand how objects become charged with significance without losing their gritty materiality. Things That Talk aims to escape the opposition between positivist facts and cultural readings that bifurcates the current historiography of both art and science. Confronting this impasse from an interdisciplinary perspective, each author singles out one object for close attention : a Bosch drawing, the freestanding column, a Prussian island, soap bubbles, early photographs, glass flowers, Rorschach blots, newspaper clippings, paintings by Jackson Pollock. Each object is revealed to be a node around which meanings accrete thickly. But not just any meanings: what these things are made of and how they are made shape what they can mean. Neither the pure texts of semiotics nor the brute objects of positivism, these things are saturated with cultural significance. Things become talkative when they fuse matter and meaning; they lapse into speechlessness when their matter and meanings no longer mesh.
