Abstract

Scrivere Disegnando n'est pas, dans le sens strict du terme, une exposition sur l'écriture, mais plutôt une exposition sur son ombre, sur une idée d'écriture qui abandonne sa fonction de communication pour s'aventurer sur le chemin de l'illisible et de l'indicible. Notre recherche entend explorer cette tension intrinsèque à la graphie qui oscille entre l'écriture, dans sa dimension proprement sémantique, et la terra incognita de la simple arabesque, de l'automatisme, du signe répété et du gribouillage." ? Andrea Bellini.

Abstract

Throughout the history of European modernism, philosophers and artists have been fascinated by madness. Something different happened in Brazil, however, with the "art of the insane" that flourished within the modernist movements there. From the 1920s to the 1960s, the direction and creation of art by the mentally ill was actively encouraged by prominent figures in both medicine and art criticism, which led to a much wider appreciation among the curators of major institutions of modern art in Brazil, where pieces are included in important exhibitions and collections. Kaira M. Cabañas shows that at the center of this advocacy stood such significant proponents as psychiatrists Osório César and Nise da Silveira, who championed treatments that included painting and drawing studios; and the art critic Mário Pedrosa, who penned Gestaltist theses on aesthetic response. Cabañas examines the lasting influence of this unique era of Brazilian modernism, and how the afterlife of this "outsider art" continues to raise important questions. How do we respect the experiences of the mad as their work is viewed through the lens of global art? Why is this art reappearing now that definitions of global contemporary art are being contested? Learning from Madness offers an invigorating series of case studies that track the parallels between psychiatric patients' work in Western Europe and its reception by influential artists there, to an analogous but altogether distinct situation in Brazil.

Abstract

For the first time brought together in a single publication, L?Art Brut. The book of books, allows you to discover more than sixty works by visionary artists, mystical geniuses and literary madmen who make up the panorama of this artistic current.Art Brut ? adored by great artists as well as by neophytes ? has now reached its rightful rank, entering the major museum collections and international exhibitions.The fact that these productions do not seem to be explicitly dedicated to anyone other than their authors does not, however, deprive them of their charm and importance: it is precisely in this way that Brut artists take the risk of their own production and self-referentiality towards their public, presenting the notebooks and books of which they are the authors.These works, sometimes conceived inside psychiatric hospitals, are the result of the isolation in which they find their inspiration, in an intimate dialogue with their secrets and their deepest selves.The writing becomes drawing in a graphic and emotional continuum, where esoteric tracts, history books, autobiographical soliloquies and sketchbooks are mixed together.Discovering this volume and the stories it contains brings the reader closer and reveals, page after page, the obsessions of the artists, their passions, to make us discover a deep humanity.Copyright Bookshop: https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/art-brut-the-books-of-the-books-le-livres-des-livres/
