Abstract

Live Love Look Last brings together photographs from the past decade of Nicholas Nixon's artistic career. Each of the subjects presented - Nixon's family, couples, Boston cityscapes, and critically ill patients - originated as a project in its own right. In retrospect, however, Nixon realized the four independent series collectively articulated his ten-year photographic journey to honor and give form to the people and places that powerfully move him. Each of Nixon's photographs belongs to the realm of private experience. Capturing emotional and physical closeness in both form and process, his images are visual renderings of life's most intimate moments. Sincere and honest in his approach, Nixon explores the relationships between individuals and their environment and how these bonds are affected by life-changing events such as birth and death. Live Love Look Last is Nixon's means of gracefully and seamlessly shaping his last decade of work. For Nixon, it is the supple nature of the medium of photography itself that enables such cohesion: "What you thought would be rigid and cold, is as pliable as a violin bow."

Abstract

Tout en étudiant les mécanismes de la demande sociale de la peinture médicale, cet ouvrage en analyse l'utilité, la destination et la pertinence. La peinture médicale a-t-elle une fonction et laquelle ? Quelle est l'intention du peintre à travers la perception qu'en a le public ; s'agit-il de lui adresser un message scientifique ou de provoquer sa pitié ? Quelles sont les intentions des collectionneurs ? L'auteur s'interroge aussi sur le rôle de l'État, le lien qui existe entre la peinture et les circuits qui l'utilisent, et la naissance d'une politique d'acquisition de l'administration des Beaux-Arts, incertaine suivant les époques ou servant la propagande de Napoléon Ier puis de Napoléon III. Un temps en faveur du pouvoir, cette action se transforme en un autre type de glorification, celle des nouveaux héros que sont les médecins. Parallèlement, l'image de l'autre héros, l'officier tué sur le champ de bataille napoléonien, s'efface devant celle du simple soldat de la guerre franco-prussienne. La misère militaire devient anonyme et collective. C'est ainsi que la peinture exprime et renforce un mouvement dans le siècle et rend compte de l'ascension du prestige des médecins.
