Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au musée national de l'Orangerie, Paris, du 12 octobre 2016 au 30 janvier 2017. Les années 1930 voient s'affirmer aux Etats-Unis des artistes considérés parmi les plus grands noms de l'art du XXe siècle, comme Georgia O'Keeffe, Grant Wood ou Edward Hopper.A travers des univers esthétiques différents tels que le régionalisme, le réalisme "social", l'abstraction ou le surréalisme, les artistes américains manifestent les mêmes doutes et les mêmes interrogations suscités par le contexte de la Grande Dépression. Ce catalogue montre comment l'expression de ces questionnements sur l'histoire et l'identité a donné lieu à des formes stylistiques dans lesquelles l'art moderne américain a pris racine et comment s'est construite ce qu'artistes et critiques appellent la "Scène américaine"

"While Mark Rothko (1903-1970) has long been considered a preeminent figure in 20th-century art, few publications have examined his work within the broader context of Western art, even though Rothko himself continuously sought it out as inspiration. Rothko had a profound interest in history and art history--including Greek and Roman mythology, Egyptian fables, Byzantine and early Italian gold-ground paintings, and masterworks of the Renaissance and Dutch Golden Age. He first traveled to Europe in 1950, starting in Paris and winding through Venice, Arezzo, Siena, Florence, and Rome; along the way, he admired frescoes by Fra Angelico and architecture by Michelangelo. This beautiful book examines the influence of the artist's travels on his oeuvre. It presents Rothko's engagement with important classical and Old Master works, highlighting older techniques and ideas that the artist may have sought to emulate. Works representative of Rothko's entire corpus are beautifully illustrated with full-page color plates. The book also contains writings by the artist--selected for publication by his son--that document his appreciation of art history in his own words." -- Yale University Press A pioneering exploration of Rothko’s deep and sustained engagement with the history of art.While Mark Rothko (1903–1970) has long been considered a preeminent figure in 20th-century art, few publications have examined his work within the broader context of Western art, even though Rothko himself continuously sought it out as inspiration.

Canadian-born Agnes Martin was one of the pre-eminent painters of the second half of the twentieth century, whose work has had a significant influence both on artists of her own time and for subsequent generations. A contemporary of the abstract expressionists though often identified with minimalism, Martin was of the few woman artists who came to prominence in the predominately masculine art world of the late 1950s and 1960s, and became a particularly important role model for younger women artists. This groundbreaking survey provides an overview of Martin’s career, from lesser-known early experimental works through her striped and grided grey paintings and use of colour in various formats, to a group of her final works that reintroduce bold forms. A selection of drawings and watercolours is also included. With essays by leading scholars that give a context for Martin’s work – her life, relationship with other artists, the influence of South Asian philosophy – alongside focused shorter pieces on particular paintings, the book will appeal to art students, academics and all those interested in abstract art. Presenting new research, and beautifully designed, the book is also an opportunity to introduce the life and work of Agnes Martin to those unfamiliar with her oeuvre.
