Abstract

"This is the first book to examine the cultural history of Marquis de Sade's (1740-1814) philosophical ideas and their lasting influence on political and artistic debates. An icon of free expression, Sade lived through France's Reign of Terror, and his writings offer both a pitiless mirror on humanity and a series of subversive metaphors that allow for the exploration of political, sexual, and psychological terror. Generations of avant-garde writers and artists have responded to Sade's philosophy as a means of liberation and as a radical engagement with social politics and sexual desire, writing fiction modelled on Sade's novels, illustrating luxury editions of his works, and translating his ideas into film, photography, and painting. In The Sadean Imagination, Alyce Mahon examines how Sade used images and texts as forms that could explore and dramatize the concept of terror on political, physical, and psychic levels, and how avant-garde artists have continued to engage in a complex dialogue with his works. Studying Sade's influence on art from the French Revolution through the twentieth century, Mahon examines works ranging from Anne Desclos's The Story of O, to images, texts, and films by Man Ray, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Guillaume Apollinaire, Jean-Jacques Lebel, and Peter Brook. She also discusses writings and responses to Sade by feminist theorists including Angela Carter and Judith Butler. Throughout, she shows how Sade's work challenged traditional artistic expectations and pushed the boundaries of the body and the body politic, inspiring future artists, writers, and filmmakers to imagine and portray the unthinkable"--

Abstract

While a young student in Chicago, Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012) regularly haunted the corridors of the Art Institute in order to learn `what painting was'. She later moved to New York, and met the art dealer, Julien Levy, who introduced her to surrealist refugees who had fled from occupied Europe, including her future husband Max Ernst. Tanning and Ernst settled first in Sedona, Arizona,where she created enigmatic paintings of life on the inside, looking out (including Tate's own Eine Kleine Nachtmusik from 1943). The couple transferred to Paris in 1956, a move which marked the beginning of Tanning's intense adventure in soft sculpture, featuring fleshy, figure-like protruberances captured in textured fabrics (such as the remarkable installation Chambre 202, Hotel du Pavot or Tate's Nue couchee 1969-70). Tanning returned to the USA after Ernst's death in 1976 and, while continuing to paint, she also began to write poetry and fiction (her published works include two memoirs, Birthday and Between Lives, two collections of poems Coming to That and A Table of Content, and a novel, Chasm). Dorothea Tanning died at her home in New York City on January 31, 2012. She was 101 years old. There is little in print detailing Tanning's entire career, and still less that is well illustrated. This book will be a beautiful introduction to the work of a remarkable and fascinating artist. It will include an overview of the artist's life and career written by Alyce Mahon; Ann Coxon will write on theme of the home and domestic in Tanning's art and examine the overlap with the several contemporary women artists; Idoia Murga Castro will explore the significance of dance and stage in tanning's work, with particular relevance to the drama of the 1940s and 50s; and Mahon will also write on Tanning's sculptural output. The texts and plates are to be punctuated by extracts from Tanning's diaries, selected by the curators and the Pamela Johnson, Executive Director of the Dorothea Tanning Foundation in New York.

Abstract

"The group exhibition WOMAN : The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s: Works from the SAMMLUNG VERBUND, Vienna, unites 450 works by 29 female artists. The history of art showed the 'image of woman' as the product of male projections. In the 1970's, for the first time, female artists themselves created 'the image of woman'. They studied their own bodies and grasped the prospect of determined feminine identities in a provocative, radical, poetic and ironic manner. Curator Gabriele Schor refers to this movement as the 'Feminist Avant-Garde' emphasizing the pioneering and collective role that these artists have played for the last four decades."
