Abstract

Imaginer un nouveau soi égal au nouvel art du modernisme; fictions primordiales et futuristes d’origine dans l’œuvre de Gauguin, Picasso, FT Marinetti, Max Ernst et d’autres. Comment imaginer non seulement un nouvel art ou une nouvelle architecture, mais un nouveau soi ou un nouveau sujet égal à eux ? Dans Prosthetic Gods, Hal Foster explore cette question à travers les œuvres et les écrits de grands modernistes tels que Gauguin et Picasso, FT Marinetti et Wyndham Lewis, Adolf Loos et Max Ernst. Ces diverses figures étaient toutes fascinées par les fictions d’origine, qu’elles soient primordiales et tribales ou futuristes et technologiques. Selon Foster, deux formes ont ainsi dominé toutes les formes de l'art moderniste: le primitivisme et la machine. Foster commence par les fantasmes primitivistes de Gauguin et de Picasso, qu'il examine à travers le prisme freudien de la scène primale. Il se tourne ensuite vers les obsessions puristes de l'architecte viennois Loos. Foster examine les sujets technophiles proposés par le futuriste Marinetti et le vorticiste Lewis. Ces "nouveaux ego" contrastent davantage avec les "machines de célibataire" proposées par le dadaïstiste Ernst. Foster explore également des extrapolations de l'art des malades mentaux dans les modèles esthétiques d'Ernst, Paul Klee et Jean Dubuffet, ainsi que des manipulations du corps féminin dans la photographie surréaliste de Brassai, Man Ray et Hans Bellmer. Bien que ce titre soit tiré de Freud, Prosthetic Gods n’impose pas la théorie psychanalytique à l’art moderne; au contraire, il établit une relation critique entre les deux et analyse le champ historique plus vaste qu’ils partagent. How to imagine not only a new art or architecture but a new self or subject equal to them? This book explores this question through the works and writings of such key modernists as Gauguin and Picasso, F.T. Marinetti and Wyndham Lewis, Adolf Loos and Max Ernst. These diverse figures were all fascinated by fictions of origin, either primordial and tribal or futuristic and technological. In this way, Hal Foster argues, two forms came to dominate modernist art above all others: the primitive and the machine.

Abstract

The first book to explore Modernism from a truly international perspective, Modernism: Designing a New World offers a reassessment of the concept and reveals the fundamental ways in which it has shaped our world and its visual culture. Modernism flourished between 1914 and 1939, and became a key point of reference for 20th-century architecture, art, and design. This important, lavishly illustrated book demonstrates the movement's continued influence, on everything from the chairs we sit on to the buildings we occupy. The range of objects illustrated-including the fine arts as well as architecture, furniture, manufactured products, film, and graphic design-reflect the period's emphasis on the unity of the arts. Key artists and designers include Mondrian, Le Corbusier, Bourke-White, Eisenstein, and Breuer, along with lesser-known figures from around the globe. (copié du site "Amazon.com")

Abstract

Although The Origin of Species contained just a single visual illustration, Charles Darwin's other books, from his monograph on barnacles in the early 1850s to his volume on earthworms in 1881, were copiously illustrated by well-known artists and engravers. Jonathan Smith explains how Darwin managed to illustrate the unillustratable - his theories of natural selection - by manipulating and modifying the visual conventions of natural history, using images to support the claims made in his texts. Moreover, Smith looks outward to analyse the relationships between Darwin's illustrations and Victorian visual culture, especially the late-Victorian debates about aesthetics, and shows how Darwin's evolutionary explanation of beauty, based on his observations of colour and the visual in nature, were a direct challenge to the aesthetics of John Ruskin. The many illustrations reproduced here enhance this fascinating study of a little known aspect of Darwin's lasting influence on literature, art and culture.
