Abstract

Placed under the joint curatorship of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art and the Mémorial de Caen, this exhibition continues the artistic and historical exploration initiated in 2020 with The Liberation of Painting, 1945-1962. This first collaboration recalled how abstract art imposed itself immediately after the war, faced with the impossibility for artists like Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung or Pierre Soulages to continue to represent the world with the traditional means of paint. This second cycle allows us to understand how, at the turn of the 1960s young artists turned away from the then dominant abstraction to propose a return to the image and the figure. Through cross-examinations between works of art, archives and period objects, the exhibition invites the public to immerse themselves in this period of history as complex as it is striking. -- From publisher's website Moment charnière de la guerre froide, les années 1960 et 1970 sont le théâtre de fortes tensions géopolitiques. Divisé en deux blocs idéologiques antagonistes dominés par les Etats-Unis et l'Union Soviétique, le monde est proche de la rupture, faisant même craindre une déflagration nucléaire. [...] Conçus à partir des oeuvres de la Fondation Gandur pour l'Art (Genève) et des collections du Mémorial de Cean, l'exposition et le catalogue qui l'accompagne retracent les boulversements de cette quinzaine d'années décisives, entre luttes pour l'indépendance ou pour la décolonisation et développement de la société de consommation et du tourisme de masse.

Abstract

L'aeroport d'Orly est inaugure par le general de Gaulle le 24 fevrier 1961. La nouvelle aerogare en verre et en acier, qui enjambe la Nationale 7 et presente aux automobilistes venant de Paris une facade vitree bleue et jaune de 200 metres, frappe les esprits par son architecture resolument moderne. L'aeroport devient immediatement le monument le plus visite de France : on y va en famille voir les avions. Les terrasses d'Orly chantees par Becaud font partie du decor de la France des annees 60, qui aspire a la modernite. Une page de l'histoire de l'aviation se tourne : Orly accueille les nouveaux avions de lignes a reactions, les jets. Caravelles, Boeing 707 et Douglas DC-8 remplacent definitivement les avions a helices et font entrer le transport aerien dans une nouvelle ere, celle de la vitesse et du transport de masse.

Abstract

"Direct Cinema is the first comprehensive study of the seminal 'reactive observationalist ' movement of 1960s America. During a pivotal epoch in the history of American cultural expression, pioneers such as Robert Drew, D. A. Pennebaker and Frederick Wiseman used mobile cameras and synchronized sound to reveal the hidden side of their turbulent times - from behind-the-scenes footage of John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign in Primary (1960), through epic coverage of the legendary Woodstock festival (Woodstock, 1970), to the downtrodden and dispossessed subjects of Wiseman's 'reality fictions'. Outlining the methods and achievements of these filmmakers, who together created the notion of the 'fly on the wall' documentary, this volume suggests that direct cinema was not only closely attuned to the artistic and political revolutions of the 1960s, but also representative of a resurgence of the United States homegrown philosophical ideals."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

"In this collection, contributors employ diverse critical methods and perspectives to explore the role of music in American film and television of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as in films from more recent years that allude to, reflect back upon, or recreate those decades. Particular attention is given to uncovering how motion picture culture and its music treated anxieties about suburbanization, conformity, the family, and gender"--Provided by publisher. The most familiar entertainment icons and storylines from the 1950s and 60s remain potent signs that continue to resonate within contemporary American society and culture. Both the political Left and Right invoke the events and memories of those decades, celebrating or condemning the competing social forces embodied in and unleashed during those years. In recent decades, the entertainment industry has capitalized on this trend with films such as Pleasantville (1998), Far from Heaven (2002), The Hours (2002), Revolutionary Road (2008), and Julie & Julia (2009), and television shows such as Mad Men and Pan Am, all of which have looked back on the 1950s and 1960s with a mixture of nostalgia and criticism. Anxiety Muted: American Film Music in a Suburban Age explores the role of music in American film and television of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as in films from more recent years that reflect upon this period. Throughout the collection, authors use music as a means to interrogate film and television in order to explore how anxieties about issues of community, social codes, gender, family and suburbanization - all central concerns of the Fifties and Sixties - have been treated in motion picture media relating to those decades. These references function as signs of the social and political assumptions about the American past that foil contemporary self-understanding. By studying these musical materials through the lens of relevant writings of the 1950s, it demonstrates that specific television shows such as Leave It to Beaver - often seen as the epitome of Fifties naivety - offers a more nuanced vision of community and conformity than is usually recognized, revealing much about our own current social anxieties. By focusing on a common set of themes relevant to the time period, Anxiety Muted binds several strands of film studies into a cohesive and engaging introduction to the Fifties and Sixties, its visual media and its music. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of both film music and American music studies.
