Abstract

La représentation du corps considéré en quelque sorte dans son état essentiel, c'est-à-dire nu, apparaît consubstantielle à l'histoire de la figuration humaine. Elle n'a pourtant pas été le fait de toutes les latitudes ni de toutes les époques. D'autres y ont vu, au contraire, le support privilégié de leurs idéaux culturels, sociaux voire religieux et, au-delà, de leur vision ontologique elle-même. La tradition figurative artistique occidentale se signale ainsi par une récurrence spectaculaire de la représentation du corps nu de l'homme, de la femme et de l'enfant, spécificité que les grands musées d'art d'Europe ou d'Amérique du Nord permettent de vérifier avec éclat. L 'histoire de la nudité dans l'art couvre en Occident un ensemble vertigineux de siècles interrompu par la parenthèse médiévale. L'un des objets de ce livre est d'étudier comment la légitimation du Nu a pris son essor, s'est imposée, et comment elle est aujourd'hui entrée en déclin au point de devenir inintelligible à une part croissante de nos contemporains. Les différents récits « fondateurs » de la civilisation héllenique font ici l'objet d'une attention particulière. Il s'agit d'étudier tout d'abord la fortune de ce legs au fils des siècles et comment il parvint à fusionner avec une religion chrétienne fondée sur le dogme de l'Incarnation qui absorba tout ce qui était assimilable au sein de l'héritage païen. Sont exposés ensuite les heurs et malheurs de la représentation du corps nu jusqu'à notre époque fertile en débats et en vives controverses sur un sujet – la représentation de la corporalité – qui paraît devoir être soustrait perpétuellement à la banalité.

Abstract

Lee Friedlander's exploration of one of photography's most enduring genres began almost by chance, in the late 1970s, when a teacher colleague at Rice University in Houston lined up a regular schedule of nude models for his students. Almost immediately, Friedlander found that he preferred to photograph the models at their homes, and ingeniously deployed household objects such as bedside lamps, potted plants and sofa fabrics to play off against the angular poses of the models and the emphatic framing of the overall composition. Friedlander's nudes show every blemish, every contour that makes each body unique, while his flash often serves to counter this realism with a softening effect that often recedes the body's shadow right up to its outline. With the publication of Friedlander's nude portraits of Madonna (prints of which fetch huge sums), the series became among the photographer's best known work, and eventually saw publication in 1991, from Jonathan Cape. Lee Friedlander: The Nudes significantly expands on the Cape edition (itself long out of print), with a total of 84 nudes, plus a new layout and design by Katy Homans and new separations by Thomas Palmer. As such, it offers the most lavish presentation of this key series in Friedlander's massive oeuvre.

Abstract

Paul Mpagi Sepuya reflects on the methodologies, strategies, and points of interest behind a single, expansive body of work at a pivotal moment in his career. Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s photography is grounded in a collaborative, rhizomatic approach to studio practice and portraiture. This volume unpacks his Dark Room series (2016–21), offering a deep dive into the thick network of references and the interconnected community of artists and subjects that Sepuya has interwoven throughout the images. The excavation and mapping of intellectual and artistic data points across the artist’s work is presented through three distinct “voices,” allowing for a comprehensive cross-referencing of conceptual categories. Each category is alphabetized and illuminated via new texts by curator and scholar Gökcan Demirkazik; selections from previously published texts about the work by critics, colleagues, and friends; quotations of other writers’ work that inspire the artist; as well as writings by the artist on his thematic preoccupations as they appear and reappear throughout this ongoing body of work. Dark Room A–Z serves as an iterative return and exhaustive manual to the strategies and generative ways of working that have informed Sepuya’s image-making, after nearly two decades of practice.

Abstract

Ce catalogue confronte les oeuvres du photographe américain R. Mapplethorpe à celles de Rodin. Le premier sculpte méticuleusement les corps à travers son objectif, tandis que le second a eu recours à la photographie tout au long de sa carrière et s'en remet aux fulgurances du geste. Or les deux oeuvres, distantes de près d'un siècle, présentent aussi des similitudes.

Abstract

Connu et admiré dans le monde entier, comme en témoignent les grandes collections qui se sont créées en Europe, aux Etats-Unis ou au Japon, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) s'impose aujourd'hui comme un véritable précurseur de la sculpture moderne et contemporaine. Si ses premières oeuvres magistrales sont marquées par la référence à la Renaissance et à Michel-Ange, son art se dégage progressivement de tout contenu pédagogique ou anecdotiqueau profit d'une volonté d'expression des sentiments à laquelle concourt le corps tout entier. Par son approche renouvelée de la technique du plâtre, son recours généralisé au multiple et à la figure partielle, il fait de la sculpture, dans sa matérialité, le sujet même de l'oeuvre. Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur offre une lecteur une vision renouvelée de son oeuvre de sculpteur autant que de dessinateur. Tout en revenant sur les réalisations célèbres qui ont marqué les esprits - parmi lesquelles la Porte de l'Enfer, les Bourgeois de Calais ou encore Le Penseur - l'auteur éclaire de nombre d'éléments inédits les sources du créateur, sa longue réflexion sur la figure partielle, ses positions esthétiques à la fin de sa carrière ou encore la diffusion de son oeuvre.

Abstract

In this book, Todd Hido explores the genres of landscape, interiors, and nude photography, with an emphasis on creating images from a personal perspective. Through words and photographs, he reveals insight into his own practice and discusses a wide range of creative issues, including mining one's own memory and experience as inspiration; using light, texture, and detail for greater impact; exploring the narrative potential activated when sequencing images; and creating powerful stories with emotional weight and beauty. Gregory Halpern, a student of Todd Hido, provides the introduction.

Abstract

Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now is the most comprehensive survey of the artist's work to date, profiling an artist who has achieved truly global acclaim in her lifetime (born 1929). In a wide-ranging career spanning seven decades and multiple media, she established profound connections with audiences around the world. Emerging at the forefront of artistic experimentation in Asia in the mid-20th century, Kusama soon became a central figure in the New York art scene of the 1960s. Now in her nineties, Kusama continues to communicate her highly personal and spiritual world view through her art.The volume is structured around six thematic sections, 'Infinity,' 'Accumulation,' 'The Biocosmic,' 'Radical Connectivity,' 'Death,' and 'Joy of Life,' each of which is intended to elucidate the aesthetic and philosophical concerns at the heart of the artist?s oeuvre.This book features selections from Kusama's hitherto unpublished writings, as well as correspondence with Georgia O'Keeffe, an interview with critic and curator Yoshie Yoshida, and a roundtable discussion from leading curators and Kusama experts. Also included are essays exploring different aspects of her practice, and a detailed illustrated chronology that places her life's work in context. Appealing not only to those already familiar with Kusama and her work, but also to anyone discovering it for the first time, this monograph reveals an artist who, while shaped by international artistic currents, remains deeply connected to the traditions and culture of her native Japan.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/yayoi-kusama-1945-now/
