L'idée d'art moderne et le concept de nouveauté qui la sous-tend ont été combattus non seulement de l'extérieur, par les regardeurs (public et critiques), mais aussi de l'intérieur, par les artistes eux-mêmes, et non des moindres. Car, en définitive, c'est des acteurs historiques de la modernité que proviennent les objections les plus stimulantes. Renoir, Seurat, Denis ou Derain, pour ne retenir que ces quatre exemples, incarnent, chacun à leur manière, la figure baudelairienne de l'antimoderne, c'est-à-dire un moderne à contre-cœur, un moderne critique envers la modernité, mais un moderne quand même. Les différentes formes de résistance à la modernité artistique dont il est ici question sont donc le fait des créateurs et elles ne sont pas appréhendées dans leur relation au politique. Cette perspective méthodologique explique le cadre géographique de l'étude. Écarter le politique comme instrument d'analyse suppose en effet d'examiner le phénomène à des époques et sous des latitudes où le principe de « l'autonomie de l'art » n'a pas été mis à mal par le cours de l'histoire. Outre Paris, où le concept de modernité artistique a vu le jour, l'enquête se déploie donc dans les capitales culturelles des deux plus anciennes démocraties libérales : Londres et New York.

Through the 1880s the very essence of representation, meaning and process in Western art were profoundly interrogated. Plausible representations of the external world were cast aside in favour of non-naturalism expressed in varying degrees, from modest distortions of reality to pure abstraction. The decades that followed, up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation. Concentrating on this period of great upheaval, this book will explore the constructive dialogue between painting and sculpture, and the influential roles played by three giants of the era, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, across European art as a whole. While acknowledging the centrality of Paris as a cultural capital, it will also uniquely highlight other centres of artistic ferment in Europe, from Brussels and Barcelona to Berlin and Vienna, and track the variety of routes into modernism in the early twentieth century. This fully illustrated catalogue will contain four essays, introductions to each city of ferment and biographies of the artists. Exhibition: The National Gallery, London, UK (25.03. - 13.08.2023).

"For the first time, the complex, symbiotic ecologies that sustained the practices of two of the twentieth-century's greatest painters are revealed. Although they never met, Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian shared a deep dynamic connection to the natural world and began their careers as landscape painters. For them, science and mysticism were not exclusive practices, but part of the same essential framework for understanding the life forces around them. Both artists engaged with science and esoteric thought as tools for exploring the underlying structures of nature and how they give meaning to art and life. Natural forms are abstracted to their atomic levels; cells evolve, dividing and expanding the canvas in colour; sinuous stems spiral into the ether whilst the crystalline formations of grids stretch out to form an infinite universe. Including works never before seen in the UK, this publication will elucidate and invigorate our understanding of two ground-breaking artists and will be sure to get synapses firing."--

"An illustrated biography of the remarkable and pioneering artist Leonora Carrington, told through the houses and locations that had meaning for her and are fundamental to an understanding of her work. An evocative visual chronicle on the life of Leonora Carrington as seen through interiors, international locations and vintage photographs, this book leads the reader on a personal journey through the many spaces she inhabited and which infused and haunted her art and the people she knew. Long underrated, Carrington is now considered as one of the vanguard, not only in histories of women artists but also Surrealism; her interests--feminism, ecology and life-enhancing art--are now shared by many. Challenging the conventions of her time, Carrington abandoned family, society and England to embrace new experiences and mix with artists in Europe and America, and to forge her own unique artistic style"--
