Le devenir peinture

by Pierre-Damien Huyghe (1996)

About this book

Comment la photographie et le cinéma, qui donnent de l'image, peuvent-ils être des arts contemporains de l'abstraction ? Comment la peinture est-elle devenue, comme le disait Kandinsky, un art voué à se passer de l'objet ? Nous ne pourrons pas traiter ces questions sans déceler dans l'histoire de l'art et de la pensée le poids des récurrences. En ceci au moins notre art n'est pas différent de la Renaissance : il ne se distingue pas sans rappel, il se comprend dans une pesée de traditions. L'enjeu, c'est l'ingénierie et l'industrie qui peuvent habiter l'image et que l'image peut installer dans la perception. L'art exige-t-il une autre méthode comme on l'a souvent dit depuis Baudelaire ? Sous cette interrogation se rappelle l'antique avertissement dont l'art a fait son affaire : la moindre des oeuvres implique une problématique de la responsabilité du monde. Cette responsabilité se manifeste aux esprits dans la facture de l'oeuvre, en deçà de toute finition.

Cover of Sean Scully

Sean Scully

[exhibition curated by Tim Wilcox

"This book brings together for the first time Sean Scully's images of the walls of Aran, revealing the unexpected yet monumental beauty of these centuries-old structures that meander across the austere and exposed landscape. In form and spirit, the photographs of the walls, with their horizontal and vertical shards of limestone, shed light on Scully's own sensibilities as an artist, revealing a creative process expressed through abstract shapes yet rooted in the material world. They also capture the stillness and serenity of this rugged, timeless place on the edge of Europe."--Jacket.

Piero della Francesca e l'astrazione

Paolo Graziani

La cosiddetta 'evoluzione' dell'arte, il percorso dal figurativo verso l'astrattismo e ad altre forme d'arte contemporanea, sono generalmente presentate come una sorta di 'evoluzionismo darwiniano', che avrebbe portato e porterebbe l'arte ad essere finalmente 'adulta', 'matura' e 'moderna'. Le riflessioni che propongo, intendono mettere a fuoco questa 'distorsione', ossia fare emergere come la supposta 'evoluzione' dell'arte, abbia non solo radici lontane, ma coincida principalmente con il formarsi lento e poi dilagante dell'abbandono della centralità della fede nell'arte e nel cuore dell'uomo.
