Vier Monumente von Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714-1785) werden hinsichtlich Auftragslage, Genese und Rezeption anhand von bisher unbeachtetem Quellenmaterial dargestellt. Das Grabmonument für Marschall Moritz von Sachsen in Strassburg verzichtet auf traditionelle Symbole ewigen Lebens und feiert stattdessen den stolzen Soldatenführer. Die allegorische Sockelfigur des glücklichen Bürgers am Königsdenkmal in Reims ist ein Selbstporträt des Künstlers. Auf zeitgenössische Allegoriekritik antwortend, macht Pigalle damit den citoyen zu einer ungewöhnlichen künstlerischen Programmfigur. Radikaler noch setzt er seine Idee von künstlerischer Genialität in der skandalträchtigen Statue des greisen, nackten Voltaire (im Pariser Louvre) um. Das Pariser Grabmal für Comte d'Harcourt zeigt sodann paradigmatisch die schleichende Auflösung der konventionellen christlichen Inhalte und ihrer Ikonografie, die durch säkularisierte, von der Aufklärung geprägte Ideen ersetzt werden. Dieser künstlerische Transformationsprozess charakterisiert Pigalles Œuvre.

C'est le paradoxe du monument moderne que ce livre se propose d'explorer. À mesure que l'enjeu de l'inscription mémorielle devient idéologiquement plus suspect, le monument se métamorphose, et l'art anglais et américain vient interroger sans relâche, par-delà le rapport à l'Histoire, les enjeux sociaux et environnementaux de la commémoration. Le marbre grec est-il blanc, le toponyme indien laisse-t-il une trace ? Construire ou décrire un monument, est-ce conforter son identtié ou subtiliser la mémoire de l'autre ? Peu à peu, l'art et la littérature revisitent, brisent et transfigurent le monumental. Comment définir le monument contemporain, autrement qu'à travers ses échelles variables, du jardin de Finley au labyrinthe d'acier de Richard Serra, installations éphémères et solides à la fois ? D'où cette force proprement poétique du monument, que cette "promenade" permet d'approcher et réévaluer.

""The camera," said Orson Welles, "is a medium via which messages reach us from another world." It was the camera and the circumstances of the Second World War that first brought together Henry Moore (1898-1986) and Bill Brandt (1904-1983). During the Blitz, both artists produced images depicting civilians sheltering in the London Underground. These "shelter pictures" were circulated to millions via popular magazines and today rank as iconic works of their time. This book begins with these wartime works and examines the artists' intersecting paths in the postwar period. Key themes include war, industry, and the coal mine; landscape and Britain's great megalithic sites; found objects; and the human body. Special photographic reproduction captures the materiality of the print as a three-dimensional object rather than a flat, disembodied image on the page"--
