Abstract

Conceived by Wagner as a way to recover the synthesis of arts at the core of Greek tragedy, the Gesamtkunstwerk played a significant role in post-Romantic and avant-garde aesthetics. It was designed to regenerate and defend the public function of art against mass culture and technology, yet at the same time depended on them in an ambivalent relationship manifested by its various realizations. The book reconceives the "total work of art" as a variation of intermediality, a practice that subverts any essentialist vision of artistic languages through complex interplay and blending of perceptions, amplified by new media and the syncretic nature of the cyberspace. The Gesamtkunstwerk can no longer be considered a Hegelian synthesis of arts or a Romantic and Wagnerian fusion of languages: it involves a synergy of different arts and media and captures the digital age’s principle of open textuality without any hierarchy and any organicist connotations. This book reveals the vitality of modern and contemporary Gesamtkunstwerk by mapping its presence in various arts and media.

Abstract

Recueil de textes épars unis dès le départ par une même question et réunis ici dans une version remaniée, 'Tout est paysage' examine l'une après l'autre les oeuvres de Monet, Twombly, Klee, Tàpies, Music, Mondrian et Morandi, comme autant de réponses possibles : comment, à quel prix, et avec quel profit la peinture de paysage s'est-elle réinventée au fil du XXe siècle, face au spectacle inouï de la destruction de son motif ? 0Champs de bataille labourés par les obus pendant la première guerre mondiale ; régions soufflées et rayées de la carte par la bombe atomique ; villes sinistrées hier par les catastrophes nucléaires et demain, aujourd?hui, par les changements climatiques? De fait, nous avons engrangé assez d?images de destruction pour que s?impose à l?art l?angoisse de l?après-paysage.
