Reddleman, Claire. "Cartographic abstraction : mapping practices in contemporary art." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2016. http://research.gold.ac.uk/18965/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a theory of cartographic abstraction as a framework for investigating cartographic viewing, and does so through engaging with a series of contemporary artworks concerned with cartographic ‘ways of seeing’ (Berger 1972). Cartographic abstraction is a material modality of thought and experience that is produced through cartographic techniques of depiction. It is the more-than-visual register that posits and produces the ‘cartographic world’, or what John Pickles has called the ‘geo-coded world’ (2006). By this I mean the naturalized apprehension of the earth as a homogeneous space that is naturally, even necessarily, understood as regular, consistent and objective. I argue for identifying cartographic techniques of depiction as themselves abstract, and cartographic abstraction as such as the modality of thought and experience that these techniques produce. Abstraction within capitalism comes to be socially real and material, taking place outside thought. I propose a series of viewpoints, that are posited by the relations of viewing enacted by the selected artworks themselves. I analyse these viewpoints in relation to modes of cartographic viewing offered by theorists. Through close readings of cartographic artworks, I expand the current possibilities for understanding cartographic abstraction and its effects, through proposing a range of viewpoints that are both deployed in, and themselves problematize, cartographic viewing. I connect cartographic abstraction to debates about abstraction in Marxist and materialist approaches to philosophy, arguing for interpreting cartographic viewing as an abstract practice through which subjects are positioned and structured in relation to the ‘viewed’. This study discerns ‘real abstraction’ functioning in a particular area of ‘the operations of capitalism’; that is, modes of visual, and epistemological, abstraction that we can identify by exploring artworks concerned with cartographic depiction and conceptualisation. This approach to abstraction explores how cartographic knowledge can be theorized through recognising cartographic abstraction as a material modality of thought and experience.

Mészáros, Flóra. "Hungarian Artists in Abstraction-Creation." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040088.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se focalise sur le groupe artistique international Abstraction-Création, créé pour servir de forum à l’art non figuratif à Paris entre 1931-1936. Au fil des années, il a eu une centaine de membres, y compris certains artistes hongrois, notamment Étienne Béothy, Alfred Reth, Lajos Tihanyi et Ferenc Martyn, tandis que László Moholy-Nagy était membre sans vivre à Paris. Ce n’est que dans les années 1970 que les premières recherches approfondies ont été menées sur Abstraction-Création. Depuis, l’activité d’Abstraction-Création n’a été que rarement étudiée, sa structure, ses objectifs ou son histoire ont été largement négligés. Le constat est le même pour l’état de la recherche relative à chacun des membres hongrois : jusqu’à présent, seule la participation de Béothy et de Martyn a été analysée en détail. Outre l’objectif principal de cette thèse, notamment la mise en perspective des artistes hongrois dans le groupe, la réévaluation et l’interprétation de l’ensemble de l’activité d’Abstraction-Création sont également mises en lumière. A la base d’une analyse théorique et historique, ce travail compare Abstraction-Création avec deux groupes parisiens non figuratifs. Cette thèse vise à clarifier les différences qui les séparent en soulignant qu’Abstraction-Création ne peut pas être considéré comme une combinaison des deux. Grâce à des documents jusqu’alors non analysés, l'auteur donne un aperçu de la structure organisationnelle de ce forum et discute, à partir d’une perspective entièrement nouvelle, le rôle du comité, leurs débats, leur formation, cessation et leurs plateformes, y compris les réunions, la galerie et le cahier. La thèse démontre la relation entre Abstraction-Création et Surréalisme au moyen d'une analyse stylistique et théorique. Elle prétend que, grâce aux activités des membres hongrois, toutes les facettes du groupe peuvent être présentées. L'auteur révèle quels ont été les objectifs initiaux de l'adhésion des membres hongrois et comment ils ont tiré profit de leur participation. La thèse décrit la période abstraite parisienne des artistes hongrois dans les années 1930, et ce, dans un contexte artistique international et dans un contexte historique plus largeThis dissertation focuses on the international artistic group, called Abstraction-Création (1931-1936. Out of the approximately 100 members joining the association a few were Hungarian artists, namely Étienne Béothy, Alfred Reth, Lajos Tihanyi and Ferenc Martyn, whereas László Moholy-Nagy received an external membership. A deeper research into the Parisian non-figurative formations of the 1930s, including Abstraction-Création, only took shape in the 1970s. Since then, Abstraction-Création has been discussed only occasionally, and a deeper discussion concerning the structure, the goals, or the history of the group is still missing. The same applies to the research on individual Hungarian artists; while for each of them the participation in the forum was presented as an important stage of their lives, so far only the participation of Béothy and Martyn has been examined in detail. Beyond the basic goal of the study to concentrate on Hungarian artists in the group, the re-evaluation and a new examination of Abstraction-Création are also placed in the focus. Based on a theoretical and historical analysis, the study compares Abstraction-Création with two non-figurative Parisian groups, clarifying the differences between them and pointing out that Abstraction-Création could not be viewed as a combination of the two of them. Drawing on hitherto unanalyzed documents, the author gives an overview of the organizational structure of the forum, and discusses, from an entirely new perspective, the role of the committee, their debates, their formation and cessation and their platforms, including their meetings, gallery and journal. The dissertation demonstrates the relation between Abstraction-Création and Surrealism by means of a stylistic and theoretical analysis. It claims that through the activities of the Hungarian members, all the facets of the group can be shown, particularly because of the fact that they did not form a special group within the association, but had their different individual roles and routes. The author presents what the original aims behind the admission of the Hungarian members were and how they benefited from the participation. The dissertation depicts the Parisian abstract period of Hungarian artists in the 1930s in an international artistic context and against a broader historical background

Harel-Vivier, Mathieu. "Photographies, abstraction et réalité : l'agencement comme processus artistique." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014REN20025/document.
Full textAbstract:
Construite à partir des questions soulevées par le travail artistique de l’auteur, cette thèse examine le rapport qu’entretiennent certains artistes, essentiellement contemporains, avec la réalité de l’image photographique, sa capacité à produire une abstraction et à s’inscrire dans un agencement. Considérée selon un double point de vue, la notion d’agencement apparait ici d’une part comme le processus de l’artiste qui travaille avec des images,et d’autre part comme une forme d’organisation qui favorise une diversité de relations entre les images, àla façon de constellations. La première partie intitulée « les conditions de l’agencement » s’intéresse au passage à l’acte photographique, à l’appropriation d’une image, comme au détachement que nécessitent parfois ces deux actions propres aux pratiques de Christian Marclay et Wolfgang Tillmans. Alternative à ces divers mouvements qui animent les élans de l’artiste vers le réel, l’abstraction photographique fait l’objet d’une étude à travers l’analyse des travaux de quelques artistes parmi lesquels Pierre Cordier, Michael Flomen et James Welling.La seconde partie s’attache à décrire comment « l’agencement d’images » est investi d’un fonctionnement caractéristique du montage cinématographique et de l’atlas warburgien. Sont ainsi tour à tour observées des oeuvres où l’agencement d’images est délimité par le cadre (John Baldessari et John Stezaker), ventilé à travers les pages d’un livre (Hans-Peter Feldmann, Luis Jacob, Gerhard Richter, etc.) et déployé dans l’espace d’exposition : sur les cimaises, au sol ou sur des tables (Pierre Leguillon, Batia Suter, Wolfgang Tillmans). L’intérêtest finalement porté sur les enjeux de transmission de l’agencement, sa volonté de non-Hiérarchie aussi, et ce notamment, dans le contexte d’expositions de collections publiques et privées (Des images comme des oiseaux, Le Mur, Les peintres de la vie moderne).À l’issue de ce texte placé en regard d’une succession de planches d’images s’ouvre une autre collection dephotographies annotées et légendées, consacrée à la pratique artistique de l’auteurDeveloped based on questions from the author’s artistic practice, this thesis examines the relationship between some artists, mainly contemporary, and the reality of the photographic picture, its ability to produce abstraction and to fit within a display. Considered here in a double perspective, the concept of display is seen, on one hand, as the process of the artist working with pictures and, on the other hand, as an organizational model that foster a variety of connections, like constellations do.Entitled “display’s conditions”, the first part deals with photographic acting-Out, the appropriation of a picture as well as the detachment that sometimes these two actions involve like in Christian Marclay’s and Wolfgang Tillmans’s practices. As an alternative to these various movements which spur on the artist’s impetus towards reality, photographic abstraction is considered for further study through the analysis of artistic works like Pierre Cordier’s, Michael Flomen’s or James Welling’s.The second part describes how the “display of pictures” is invested by a functioning that is a feature of editingand Warburg’s atlas. Several works are observed in which the display of pictures is delimited by the frame(John Baldessari and John Stezaker) scattered through the pages of a book (Hans-Peter Feldmann’s, LuisJacob’s, Gerhard Richter’s, etc.) and spread out in the exhibition space: on the walls, the ground and tables(Pierre Leguillon, Batia Suter, Wolfgang Tillmans). The interest is finally moved on the issue of displaytransmission, its aim of non-Hierarchy, especially in the context of public and private collections exhibited(Des images comme des oiseaux, Le Mur, Les Peintres de la vie moderne).As the outcome of this text that appears beside a series of plates, a new collection of annotated and captionedphotographs is developed, dedicated to the artistic practice of the author

Ottley, Dianne. "Grace Crowley's contribution to Australian modernism and geometric abstraction." University of Sydney, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/2254.
Full textAbstract:
Master of PhilosophyGrace Crowley was one of the leading innovators of geometric abstraction in Australia. When she returned to Australia in 1930 she had thoroughly mastered the complex mathematics and geometry of the golden section and dynamic symmetry that had become one of the frameworks for modernism. Crowley, Anne Dangar and Dorrit Black all studied under the foremost teacher of modernism in Paris, André Lhote. Crowley not only taught the golden section and dynamic symmetry to Rah Fizelle, Ralph Balson and students of the Crowley-Fizelle Art School, but used it to develop her own abstract art during the 1940s and 1950s, well in advance of the arrival of colour-field painting to Australia in the 1960s. Through her teaching at the most progressive modern art school in Sydney in the 1930s Crowley taught the basic compositional techniques as she had learnt them from Lhote. When the art school closed in 1937 she worked in partnership with fellow artist, Ralph Balson as they developed their art into constructive, abstract paintings. Balson has been credited with being the most influential painter in the development of geometric abstraction in Australia for a younger generation of artists. This is largely due to Crowley’s insistence that Balson was the major innovator who led her into abstraction. She consistently refused to take credit for her own role in their artistic partnership. My research indicates that there were a number of factors that strongly influenced Crowley to support Balson and deny her own role. Her archives contain sensitive records of the breakup of her partnership with Rah Fizelle and the closure of the Crowley-Fizelle Art School. These, and other archival material, indicate that Fizelle’s inability to master and teach the golden section and dynamic symmetry, and Crowley’s greater popularity as a teacher, was the real cause of the closure of the School. Crowley left notes in her Archives that she still felt deeply distressed, even forty years after the events, and did not wish the circumstances of the closure known in her lifetime. With the closure of the Art School and her close friend Dangar living in France, her friendship with Balson offered a way forward. This thesis argues that Crowley chose to conceal her considerable mathematical and geometric ability, rather than risk losing another friend and artistic partner in a similar way to the breakup of the partnership with Fizelle. With the death of her father in this period, she needed to spend much time caring for her mother and that left her little time for painting. She later also said she felt that a man had a better chance of gaining acceptance as an artist, but it is equally true that, without Dangar, she had no-one to give her support or encourage her as an artist. By supporting Balson she was able to provide him with a place to work in her studio and had a friend with whom she could share her own passion for art, as she had done with Dangar. During her long friendship with Balson, she painted with him and gave him opportunities to develop his talents, which he could not have accessed without her. She taught him, by discreet practical demonstration the principles she had learnt from Lhote about composition. He had only attended the sketch club associated with the Crowley- Fizelle Art School. Together they discussed and planned their paintings from the late 1930s and worked together on abstract paintings until the mid-1950s when, in his retirement from house-painting, she provided him with a quiet, secluded place in which to paint and experiment with new techniques. With her own artistic contacts in France, she gained him international recognition as an abstract painter and his own solo exhibition in a leading Paris art gallery. After his death in 1964, she continued to promote his art to curators and researchers, recording his life and art for posterity. The artist with whom she studied modernism in Paris, Anne Dangar, also received her lifelong support and promotion. In the last decade of her life Crowley provided detailed information to curators and art historians on the lives of both her friends, Dangar and Balson, meticulously keeping accurate records of theirs and her own life devoted to art. In her latter years she arranged to deposit these records in public institutions, thus becoming a contributor to Australian art history. As a result of this foresight, the stories of both her friends, Balson and Dangar, have since become a record of Australian art history.

Full textAbstract:
This project involves the examination of abstract, geometric paintings, kinetic sculptures, electronic art and installations that use opticality, perspectival space and colour relationships that destabilise compositional cohesion. Works made between 1964 and 1980, particularly those by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley are referenced in the determination of how geometric forms, colour transitions, interactions and juxtapositions have been used to suggest movement. This enquiry includes a review of the usage of planar space and the creation of optical effects. Artworks such as Bridget Riley's Chant 2, (1967) inform new works in which available digital technological processes are utilised. These new works consist mainly of compositions of line and coloured forms and are created in response to the outcomes of the research into the selected works. For example, static works that create movement through the use of colour and geometric form inform the creation of new w ork in media that uses motion. The artworks produced are installation-based works. The works include digital projections and static images that use painting processes as well as digital media. The objective of the project is to produce artworks that reference painting processes and extend explorations into colour usage designed to maximise optical effects and spatial disorientation. The artworks are intended to reflect elements researched whilst maximising the potential for using new media.

Full textAbstract:
Au-delà de l'importance de l'espace dans l’œuvre de Michelangelo Antonioni, considérer le mur permet de mettre en évidence le rapport entre le corps sensible des personnages et leur environnement à partir de cet élément à échelle humaine et de découvrir que le mur apparaît également dans des configurations qui ne font plus appel à la notion de volume, mais à celle, métacinématographique, d'écran. En examinant les différents aspects que le terme « mur » recouvre dans l’œuvre, mon propos s'attache à démontrer que si le mur devient catégorie esthétique c'est par son omniprésence à l'écran mais aussi par sa capacité à s'étendre à toutes les dimensions de la fable. La thèse s'organise selon deux idées-cinéma : le mur-objet – qui considère le mur selon son acception la plus concrète – et le mur-écran – pour souligner la proximité du mur, devenu surface, avec l'écran cinématographique. À chaque étape, des lignes transversales sont tendues vers d'autres œuvres et d'autres arts. À partir du mur, élément en apparence stable et immuable, se dévoile un mouvement de libération inhérent à l’œuvre. Les murs sont surfaces de déplacements, formes en mouvement qui entraînent les personnages le long des lignes de déterritorialisation qu'ils proposent. Comme dans sa réalité concrète entre deux espaces, le mur se situe toujours à une limite. Penser le mur, c'est se confronter à cette limite, lieu de basculement, lieu d'instabilitéBeyond the importance of spaces in Michelangelo Antonioni's work, considering the wall allows to highlight the relationships between the characters' sensitive bodies and their environment from this human scale element and to discover that the wall also appears in configurations which do not depend on the notion of volume but on the metacinematographic notion of screen. By studying the various aspects the term "wall" recovers, I attempt to demonstrate that the wall becomes esthetic category by its omnipresence but also by its capacity to extend in all the dimensions of the fable. The thesis is organized according to two ideas-cinemas: the wall-object - which considers the wall according to its most concrete meaning - and the wall-screen - to underline the closeness of the wall, as a surface, with the film screen. In every stage, transverse lines are tightened towards other works and other arts. From this seemingly stable and unchanging element unfold a movement of liberation inherent to the work. Walls are surfaces of movements, forms in movement which lead the characters along the lines of deterritorialisation they propose. As in its concrete reality between two spaces, the wall is always on a limit. Considering the wall is confronting with this limit, this place of shift and instability

Demori, Lara. "Degree zero art : Piero Manzoni and Hélio Oiticica." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25732.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to unfold the concept of the ‘degree zero art’ as an artistic and cultural project as manifested in the practices of two very different artists, Milan-based Piero Manzoni (Soncino 1933- Milan 1963) and Rio-born Hélio Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro 1937-1980), during the second half of the twentieth century. Despite the clear contrasts between their works and their very different cultural formations, the thesis focuses on these artists in order to show how their practices align around the challenge to aesthetic categories, stylistic labels and political frameworks employed by much recent critical literature. In order to discuss intellectual and critical structures developed to narrate varieties of North American conceptual practices, this thesis proposes a new interpretative frame: a ‘degree zero aesthetics’, creating a transnational dialogue between the work of Manzoni and Oiticica. Borrowing from the understanding of zero proposed by the German Zero group at the beginning of the sixties, I argue that the idea of zero denotes a fresh start and constructive will; it therefore explains the process of erasing and rebuilding from scratch that has characterised the post-war generation. Alongside the process of construing an aesthetic around the notion of ‘zero’, this thesis aims to deconstruct popular sites of discourse around the tropes of ‘participation’ and ‘politics’, critically readdressing the historiography surrounding these themes. Lastly, this project attempts to discuss the literature on both artists, who have become paradigmatic of certain key movements and moments in Latin American and European art respectively, and in recent elaborations of global art histories.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail se propose de mener une interprétation minutieuse de l'oeuvre du peintre brésilien Cicero Dias [1907-] pour la période qui va des années 20 aux années 50. Le peintre a traversé le siècle et sa longue carrière qui débute à Rio de Janeiro s'est déroulée entre le Brésil et la France. Son départ précipité du pays en 19371 sous le régime de la dictature Vargas, pour un séjour à Paris qui dure depuis cette date, fait qu'il laisse derrière lui une quantité importante de ses oeuvres et un discours partial de la critique qui célèbre sans modération son côté régional. Nous chercherons tout d'abord à reconsidérer l'expérience formelle de son langage figuratif pour ensuite mettre en lumière le passage de la figuration à l'abstraction sous l'angle de l'analyse de l'oeuvre et des faits généraux auxquels elle renvoie. Puis, nous interpréterons les changements formels de l'abstraction construite chez Dias en esquissant les rapports qui se sont établis entre lui et la scène artistique française et entre son oeuvre et le monde de l'art brésilien. Si, au Brésil, l'aura de mystère qui entoure le déroulement de sa carrière a progressivement remplacé tout regard analytique, l'oeuvre est, en revanche, presque inconnu en France aujourd'hui. Il importait donc d'interpréter et de remettre en question l'oeuvre, tout en essayant parallèlement de replacer l'artiste dans l'histoire de l'art brésilien.

Full textAbstract:
La notion d’« abstraction perceptuelle (perceptual abstraction) » apparaît dans le domaine de la psychologie cognitive avant d’être associée à l’art optique et cinétique dans les pages du catalogue de l’exposition « The Responsive Eye » au Museum of Modern Art en 1965. Ce lien tissé entre abstraction et phénoménologie de la perception, bien qu’il ait connu une résonance historiographique modeste, traduit avec justesse certains enjeux et complète les catégories du mouvement et de l’effet, sur lesquelles le débat et la réflexion se sont le plus souvent orientés. À partir de ce cadre initial des années 1950 et 1960 est établi un second cadre, plus vaste, allant des avant-gardes historiques à nos jours, d’un « art perceptuel ». Au sein de ce corpus transhistorique sont rassemblées des oeuvres caractérisées par leur oscillation constante entre surface et volume, fait et effet, matière et vibration. Le phénomène de palpitation et de dissolution, qui se substitue à la composition et à la polychromie, rend impossible la saisie d’oeuvres tantôt incandescentes, tantôt évanescentes. Dans cette exploration constante des seuils du visible, la perception est traitée comme un médium à part entière. À travers oeuvres et textes, cette étude entend mettre en avant les résonances thématiques entre les époques et les courants afin, précisément, d’établir un panorama, le plus large possible, des pratiques relevant de ce que Jean Clay présenta comme « une prise de conscience de l’instabilité du réel »The term “perceptual abstraction” appears within the field of cognitive psychology before being associated, in the catalogue of the exhibition "The Responsive Eye" at the MoMA in New York in 1965, with Optical Art and Kinetic Art, two parallel trends around which debate and reception were focused for about a decade. At the same time, this link between abstraction et perception, despite the modest resonance of its term, is relevant for understanding these kinds of artistic practices with the potential of covering a wider historical and aesthetic field. Beyond this narrow chronological frame of the 1950s and 1960s, this concept describes a type of Perceptual Art that is based on an oscillation between fact and effect, matter and flux, surface and volume—an art in which composition and polychromy give way to vibration and dissolution, from the historical avant-gardes until today. Through an analysis of diverse artworks and texts, this study approaches perception beyond the commonly used categories of mechanical movement and optical effect. Considered as a medium in itself by some artists, perception is driven to its limits and the spectator’s capacity to grasp form and space is questioned. Thematic echoes between periods and trends are highlighted, precisely in order to define the field as broadly as possible—to reflect on what Jean Clay aptly described as “an awareness of the instability of the real.”

Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces a line of literary experimentation in post-war British literature that was prompted by the aesthetic, philosophical and theoretical demands of abstraction. Spanning the period 1945 to 1980, it observes the ways in which certain aesthetic advancements initiated new forms of literary expression to posit a new genealogy of interdisciplinary practice in Britain. It is the first sustained chronological study to consider the ways in which a select number of British poets, authors and critics challenged the received views of their post-war moment in the discovery of the imaginative and idealizing potential of abstraction. At a time in which Britain became conscious of its evolving identity within an increasingly globalised context, this study accounts for the range of Continental and Transatlantic influences in order to more accurately locate the networks at play. Exploring the contributions made by individuals, such as Herbert Read, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Christine Brooke-Rose, as well as by groups of practitioners, such as the British concrete poetry movement, small press initiatives and Art & Language, this thesis offers a comprehensive account of the evolving status of abstraction across cultural, institutional and literary contexts. The discussions build a vision of an era that increasingly jettisons the predetermined critical lexicon of abstraction to generate works of a more pragmatic abstract inspiration: the spatial demands of concrete poetry, language as medium in the conceptual artwork, the absence of linear plot in the new novel.

Full textAbstract:
Les écrits sur l’art forment une partie très importante de l’œuvre de Dominique Fourcade : une cinquantaine de textes publiés en préface dans des catalogues d’exposition ou dans des revues, principalement entre 1971 et 1990. Beaucoup d’entre eux sont consacrés à l’œuvre de Matisse, dont Dominique Fourcade est un spécialiste éminent. D’autres examinent la création française contemporaine, en particulier les productions des plasticiens proches du galeriste parisien Jean Fournier. Certains étudient, enfin, le travail des artistes anglo-saxons, essentiellement celui des sculpteurs, mais aussi celui des peintres du mouvement expressionniste abstrait. La plupart de ces textes sont majoritairement méconnus même par des spécialistes de la poésie contemporaine. Or, ils sont le lieu où se forge véritablement la vision poétique de l’auteur, car c’est sur les arts plastiques que Dominique Fourcade prend appui pour penser le monde et trouver la modernité. Dans son travail critique le poète réunit deux approches habituellement opposées : d’un côté, la théorie formaliste qui met en valeur les matériaux et les procédés plastiques, de l’autre, la recherche d’un profond message spirituel des œuvres. Ainsi, les aspects formels (le rythme, la structure, la surface, la lumière, la couleur et d’autres encore) comprennent de multiples implications poétiques, dans leurs valeurs éthique, politique ou gnoséologique. Dans ses écrits sur l’art, Dominique Fourcade met en place une poétique complexe dans laquelle la sagesse est inséparable de la beauté et l’esthétique de l’éthique. C’est cette même poétique qui réside au cœur de ses poèmes des années 1980-2010Art publications are an important part of Dominique Fourcade’s writing: representing about 50 texts published as prefaces for exhibition catalogues or in the magazines, mainly between 1971 and 1990. A large number of these publications are dedicated to Matisse’s work, Dominique Fourcade being an eminent specialist of his work. Others examine contemporary French creation, and especially plastic artists close to Parisian art dealer Jean Fournier. Finally, some of them study Anglo-Saxon artists work, especially that of sculptors, but also of painters belonging to the abstract expressionist movement. The majority of these texts remain unknown, even by the specialists of contemporary poetry. Though, they are the place where the author’s poetic vision has been build up, as Dominique Fourcade bases his ideas on plastic art in order to think about world and find modernity. In his critical work, the poet gets together two usually opposite approaches: on the one hand, a formalist theory highlighting materials and plastic methods, on the other, a search for the profound spiritual message of works. Thus, formal aspects (such as rhythm, structure, surface, light, color and others) include multiple poetic implications in their ethical, political or epistemological values. In his art essays, Dominique Fourcade puts in place an intricate poesy where wisdom is inseparable from beauty and aesthetics from ethics. The same poetic language lies in the heart of his poems dating from 1980-2010

Full textAbstract:
In the middle of his career, Arthur Garfield Dove created a smell yet novel body of landscape assemblages. They illustrate Dove's central interest in evoking nature--its motifs and rhythms--through imaginative associations of organic and man-made materials. These works represent Dove's synthesis of contemporary European stylistic and intellectual ideas as well as American philosophies and concerns. They also reflect the influence of Alfred Stieglitz and his circle and the artist Helen Torr, Dove's second wife. This study examines how Dove used a complex interplay of European theory and technique, American ideas and his own nature-based abstract style to create the landscape assemblages, works that are uniquely independent in the history of American art.

Full textAbstract:
La revue Art d’aujourd’hui paraît de juin 1949 à décembre 1954, constituant une somme de trente-six numéros. Créée pour défendre et promouvoir l’abstraction géométrique et la synthèse des arts, elle s’inscrit dans un ensemble d’actions dont l’objectif principal est de rendre l’avant-garde accessible au plus grand nombre. Pour cela, elle bénéficie notamment de la collaboration de critiques influents des années cinquante.A partir des apports propres à Art d'aujourd'hui (son contenu – textes, illustrations, mise en pages -, ses archives, ses rédacteurs, les témoins vivants), nous abordons ensuite plus largement la problématique du rôle social qui peut être donné à la création plastique des Trente Glorieuses à nos jours. Qu'en est-il en effet aujourd'hui des objectifs de cette revue : l'art dans le quotidien, l'enseignement de l'art dans le milieu scolaire et la prise en compte des publics dans les musées d'art moderne et contemporain ?The review Art d'aujourd'hui was published between June 1949 and December 1954, amounting to thirty-six issues. Created to defend and promote geometric abstraction and the synthesis of the arts, the review was one of a range of activities whose main objective was to make the avant-garde accessible to everyone. To that end, the review benefited from the collaboration of the most well-known and important art critics of the fifties.Following the analysis of the specific attributes of Art d'aujourd'hui (its content – texts, illustration, and composition; its archives, its writers and the testimony of witnesses), this thesis tackles the broader question of the social role of the plastic arts during the period from the so-called Trente Glorieuses to the present day. What today are the goals of Art d'aujourd'hui: art in daily life, the teaching of art at school, and the acknowledgement of the public for museums of contemporary and modern art?

La présente recherche s'attache à mettre en relief l'un des aspects particuliers de l'art : la peinture.Il s'agit, à la suite d'une pratique personnelle cultivée depuis plu¬sieurs années et explorant les relations complexes entre expression plastique et intégration de la lettre écrite, de réfléchir sur l'entité singulière qu'est l'écriture.C'est alors que, conjuguant le travail plastique et le travail de recher¬che, se conduit cette étude dont l'objectif se fonde et se développe autour de la question des rapports texte/image au sein des œuvres peintes traversant et construisant l'ensemble de l'histoire de l'art occidental.En 1924, l'artiste Paul Klee (1879-1940) déclare :" Ecrire et dessiner sont identiques en leur fond " . Un cloisonnement entre les disciplines littéraires et pictu¬rales fait néanmoins foi depuis des siècles et ce malgré l'étymologie commune des ter¬mes " écrire " et " dessiner " formulée à partir du mot grec grapheïn . Mais, au regard des pratiques artistiques menées par les cubistes, tels le po¬choir ou le papier collé, par les futuristes, tel le bouleversement des co¬des de composition et de mise en page, par Dada, telle la destruction du langage, par les surréalistes, telle l'" écriture automatique ", par les lettristes, telle la prise en compte de la singularité de la lettre même, et par l'Art conceptuel envisageant l'écrit comme une matière à l'œuvre, nous voyons que les liens tissés entre le domaine iconique et le domaine textuel se renou¬vellent cons¬tamment et mérite un examen approfondi.Ainsi, notre recherche organise et analyse les différents usages concédés à la lettre par l'univers pictural. Elle met en valeur son intégration, son implication, son évolution et sa résonnance dans le champ visuel. La tra¬duction des modalités plastiques de l'écriture, après l'observation d'œuvres contemporaines comme celles de Jenny Holzer, de Claude Closky ou de Ta¬nia Mouraud, fait émerger l'indice d'une nouvelle organisation actuelle des codes graphiques qui, après le règne de la figuration et celui de l'abstraction en art, explore le graphème comme une matière picturale première et à part entière.

Full textAbstract:
Après 1945, Auguste Herbin (Quiévy 1882 - Paris 1960) devient le maître en France de l’abstraction géométrique, une référence pour la seconde génération d’artistes abstraits, à la fois en Europe et dans le reste du monde. Les peintures d’Herbin réalisées à partir de son alphabet plastique, c’est-à-dire de 1942 à 1960 posèrent les jalons d’expérimentations nouvelles dans le domaine de l’art optique, de l’art cinétique, de l’art concret et de l’hard edge. La plupart des travaux réalisés par les artistes présents dans le Paris de l’après seconde guerre mondiale, tels Baertling, Agam, Dewasne, Vasarely, Soto, Fruhtrunk etc., n’auraient pu se concevoir sans la connaissance et l’assimilation du vocabulaire herbinien. Avait-on véritablement pris la mesure du rôle d’Auguste Herbin dans l’histoire et l’évolution de l’art abstrait ?After 1945, Auguste Herbin (1882-1960) became the leading French abstract, geometric artist and an inspirational figure to abstract artists in both Europe and the Americas. Herbin’s Plastic Alphabet paintings are the forerunners of the wider experimentation in op’art, concrete art and hard edge painting. Much of the work by artists dominant in Paris in the 50’s and 60’s, such as Baertling, Agam, Dewasne, Vasarely, Soto, Fruhtrunk, is unimaginable without the advance wich Herbin represents

Art HistoryM.A.
Lloyd Raymond "Bill" Ney's mural New London Facets was commissioned for the New London, Ohio post office through the Treasury Department-run New Deal program, the Section of Fine Arts (the Section), and is the only mural that program officials considered abstract. An examination of the mural today reveals that the label of "abstract" may be a bit extreme; objects in the piece have been abstracted but the mural as a whole is not at all strictly non-representational. This discrepancy and the ensuing controversy over Ney's mural reveal much about the sensitivity of Section officials to abstraction and to subjects outside genre or allegorical scenes typical of Section commissions. Correspondence between Ney and Section officials indicate a fear in the Section that the public would reject and fail to understand or relate to anything outside of the representational norm, a belief against which Ney adamantly and successfully argued. As a result, the Section made its lone exception in the case of Ney and New London Facets. While Ney did not achieve national renown as an artist within his lifetime, his work is still exhibited and auctioned relatively regularly in his hometown of New Hope, Pennsylvania. With the exception of Karal Ann Marling's description of the New London Facets incident in her book Wall to Wall America: A Cultural History of Post-Office Murals in the Great Depression, there is nothing significant published on Ney or his mural. With this thesis I hope to raise awareness of Ney as an artist, provide readers with a complete understanding of the New London Facets commission and approval, and explore the relationship between abstraction and the New Deal art programs.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates how the project of abstraction, initiated in interwar Europe, was reconstructed, continued, and transformed in mid-twentieth-century South America. Through an examination of the work and thought of three key artists (Tomás Maldonado of Argentina, Alejandro Otero of Venezuela, and Lygia Clark of Brazil), it posits historical continuity and universality as both central problems of mid-century South American projects of abstraction and potential avenues toward a new understanding of their historical specificity. I identify three key features of interwar abstraction that were consciously continued in the work of Maldonado, Otero, and Clark: the adoption of abstraction not as a style, but as a progressive teleology with a linear history and singular goal; the ambition to reach the end of painting as an autonomous activity and integrate abstraction into the built environment; and the belief in the power of abstraction to forge new subjects and collectivities. In all three cases, the encounter of a universalistic project with particular socio-historical realities had resonances unanticipated by their European predecessors. Whereas abstraction in interwar Europe was intimately tied to struggles against bourgeois subjectivity and for a new form of egalitarian collectivity, artists in mid-century South America were rather faced with accelerated, state-driven developmentalism and the emergence of populist politics. Against this background, I demonstrate how each artist envisioned abstraction as a tool to contribute to or disrupt newly emerging forms of collectivity, contrasting Maldonado's insistence on an international, class-based collective, Otero's efforts to forge a modern national community, and Clark's advocating for a contingent intersubjectivity as a way of resisting top-down projects of collectivity. Finally, I investigate how the engagement with ideas of continuity and universality, as exemplified by these three artists, intersected with broader conceptions of historical progress and development circulating in Latin America between the Second World War and the Cuban Revolution. The rise and fall of abstraction in South America during this period, I conclude, was closely linked to the dream of catching up with "universal history" and its eventual abandonment.History of Art and Architecture

Full textAbstract:
L’oeuvre de Robert Smithson (1938-1973) connaît un regain d’intérêt depuis le début duXXIème siècle. Cependant l’importance de l’impact des théories de la cybernétique sur sonoeuvre a été peu soulignée jusqu’ici. En prenant comme piliers les écrits et carnets de RobertSmithson notre recherche consiste en une analyse de cet impact dans la pensée et l’oeuvre del’artiste à travers l’étude des rapports étroits qu’y occupent le langage, la technologie etl’abstraction artistique.A partir des principes de la cybernétique, Smithson formule une critique de l’abstractionmoderniste et pose les bases de sa pratique plastique. S’attachant à des questions à l’oeuvre encybernétique, il saisit que se mettent en jeu de nouveaux problèmes de représentation. Ilréaffirme alors un fondement sémiotique aux arts plastiques, à savoir une structure invisiblefondée sur le langage qui est essentielle dans l’art classique.Les oeuvres de Smithson effectuent des pivotements du sens qui se révèlent aux différentsniveaux que nous étudions dans les trois parties de la thèse : pivotement de la notiond’atemporel telle que traditionnellement envisagée dans la culture occidentale (I), pivotementde l’abstraction moderniste (II), pivotement du rapport au temps et à la mémoire (III). Cestrois formes de pivotement tendent à repenser les formes de l’oeuvre d’art à l’âge del’électronique.En analysant la manière dont l’oeuvre de Smithson se construit, comment elle fonctionne et cequ’elle implique sur la durée, nous montrons en quoi les problèmes plastiques et esthétiquesque pose Smithson au moment de la révolution électronique dans les années 1960-1970résonnent avec la situation de l’art contemporain à l’heure de la révolution numériqueThe work of artist Robert Smithson (1938-1973) enjoys a renewed interested since thebeginning of the XXIst century. However, the importance of the impact of cybernetic theorieson his work has not been stressed so far. Taking as essential basis Robert Smithson’snotebooks and writings, this dissertation consists in an analysis of the impact of cybernetics inhis thought and art through the close relationships between language, technology and artisticabstraction.With the principles of cybernetics, Smithson formulates a critique of modernist abstractionand builds the foundations of his plastic practice. Focusing on issues at stake in cybernetics,he is aware of new representation problems. He then reaffirms a semiotic basis for visual arts,namely an invisible structure that is essential in classical art.Smithson’s works realize rotations of meaning that appear at the different levels that we studyin the three parts of the dissertation: rotation of the notion of timelessness as traditionallydealt with in Western culture (I), rotation of modernist abstraction (II), rotation of the relationto time and memory (III). With these three types of rotations Smithson rethinks the forms ofthe artwork in the age of electronics.We analyze how Smithson’s work constructs, how it operates and what it implies over time.We show how the plastic and esthetic issues Smithson contemplates at the time of theelectronic revolution in the years 1960-1970 resonate to the present day with the situation ofcontemporary art at the time of the digital revolution
Seit dem Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts erfährt das Werk von Robert Smithson (1938-1973) ein erneutes Interesse. Jedoch, wurde die Bedeutung der Auswirkung von Theorien der Kybernetik auf sein Werk bis heute nur wenig aufgezeigt. Mit Smithsons Schriften und Notizbücher als Ausgangsbasis, analysiert die Vorliegende Untersuchung den Stellenwert der Kybernetik in seinem Denken und seinem Werk durch die engen Beziehungen, die Sprache, Technologie und künstlerische Abstraktion dort eingehen. Ausgehend von den Prinzipien der Kybernetik, formuliert Smithson eine Kritik der modernistischen Abstraktion und legt den Grundstein für seine eigene künstlerische Arbeit. Als er sich für Fragestellungen der Kybernetik interessiert, erkennt er, dass sich in ihr neue Darstellungsprobleme stellen. Er bekräftigt daraufhin eine semiotische Grundlage der bildenden Kunst, nämlich eine unsichtbare, auf Sprache gründende Struktur, wie sie der klassischen Kunst wesentlich ist. Die Werke von Smithson vollziehen Umkehrungen des Sinns auf verschiedenen Ebenen, die in drei Teilen der Dissertation untersucht werden: Umkehrung der traditionellen Vorstellung des Zeitlosen in der westlichen Kultur (I), Umkehrung der modernistischen Abstraktion (II), Umkehrung des Verhältnisses zu Zeit und Gedächtnis (III). Diese drei Umkehrungsformen zielen darauf, die Formen des Kunstwerks im elektronischen Zeitalter neu zu denken.Wir analysieren, auf welche Weise sich Smithsons Werk konstruiert, wie sie sich vollzieht und welche Implikationen sie im Laufe der Zeit mit sich bringt. Damit zeigen wir, inwieweit die plastischen und ästhetischen Probleme, die Smithson im Zeitalter der elektronischen Revolution in den Jahren 1960-1970 aufwirft, bis heute mit der Situation der zeitgenössischen Kunst im Zeitalter der digitalen Revolution von Bedeutung sind

Scalco, Diego. "L’art abstrait et la tradition du sublime : du sublime comme principe de critique d’art." Thesis, Paris 10, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA100143.
Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail a pour objectif de montrer que les réflexions théoriques et les remarques à caractère technique suscitées au cours de l’histoire par le sublime permettent d’approfondir la question du sens de l’art abstrait. En retour, il vise à tracer les voies par lesquelles l’art abstrait porte à témoigner du sublime, à le penser et à le reconnaître. La relation que l’art abstrait entretient avec la tradition du sublime n’est pas univoque, car certaines parmi ses manifestations tendent à confluer dans la tradition du beau et à renouer avec la pratique de la mímēsis (dont la notion classique déborde les notions modernes d’imitation, de représentation et de figuration). Force est de constater que l’impression d’étrangeté provoquée par le sublime se distingue du plaisir de la reconnaissance qui accompagne le beau et qui est l’effet de la mímēsis accomplie. Ainsi il s’agira de départager l’abstraction, laquelle aurait pour objet l’harmonie sous sa forme abstraite, et l’art abstrait, lequel procurerait un émoi propice au sublime. Cet émoi ne constituera pas le seul critère discriminant en matière de choix des démarches à comparer. D’autres aspects seront pris en considération, à savoir la simplicité, la grandeur et l’obscurité, qui, sous certaines conditions et une fois réunies, peuvent prêter existence au sublime. L’intérêt de l’approche proposée consiste à considérer différentes pratiques abstraites sous un angle, celui du sublime, qui offre la possibilité de les relier à des pratiques figuratives, poétiques, oratoires ou architectoniques dans une perspective historique, mais aussi d’en reconnaître les enjeux et les difficultés spécifiquesThe objective of this thesis is, on the one hand, to show how the theoretical reflections and technical considerations raised throughout history by the sublime allow a deeper understanding of the meaning of abstract art. On the other hand, this thesis explores the way in which abstract art gives rise to the experience of the sublime and therefore to a reflection on it and to its recognition. The relation between abstract art and the tradition of the sublime is not unproblematic. Some of the manifestations of abstract art have a tendency to relate to the tradition of beauty and the practice of mímēsis (whose classical meaning goes beyond the modern notion of imitation, representation and figuration). It is important to note that the impression of strangeness provoked by the sublime differs from the pleasure gained from the recognition that accompanies beauty and is the effect of the accomplished mímēsis. Therefore, it is a question of distinguishing between abstraction, whose objective is harmony in its abstract form, and abstract art, which provokes an agitation that can generate the sublime. In addition to agitation, other aspects will be taken into consideration, namely simplicity, grandness and obscurity. These aspects can, under certain conditions and once they are brought together, give rise to the sublime. The approach of this thesis is important because it considers abstract practices from the angle of the sublime which offers the possibility (a) to link abstract practices with figurative, poetic, oratory or architectural practices in a historical perspective, and (b) to identify specific issues and problems of abstract practices

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the Spanish artist Anglada-Camarasa (Barcelona, 1871- Palma de Mallorca, 1959) during the twenty years he lived in Paris: 1894-1914, when he enjoyed overwhelming international success. Until the 1980s, there was little institutional interest in his work and, hence, a dearth of literature on him. In my thesis I first offer an explanation of this state of affairs and then attempt a re-evaluation of his work. My explanation is articulated within the framework provided by the interpretation of early twentieth-century art history, originated in the 1970s, which emerged as an alternative to the dominating one defended by Modernist Paradigm supporters. In my discussion I situate Anglada's development within the cultural currents of his time and show how he found pictorial solutions to some of the artistic concerns of his contemporaries. Once the origins of the main features of Anglada's technique are firmly grasped, both in relation to subject matter and to pictorial means, it becomes much easier to understand his success, especially among his Russian admirers. Some of these, such as Meyerhold and Diaghilev, who were leading figures of the Russian cultural world and who were well known for their pioneering taste, found inspiration in Anglada's work for their innovations. Against the background of this historical and artistic analysis, I try to demonstrate that Anglada's figurative style influenced also Kandinsky's long transition into Abstraction, especially during the latter's stay in Murnau, before World War I, which constituted his most productive years. My overarching aim in carrying out this original investigation is to locate Anglada in the place he deserves in the beginning of the twentieth-century History of Art. By doing this, I hope not only to contribute to the still much-debated character of this period. But, more importantly, I hope to make Anglada better known, for the beauty of his work that expresses his faith in mankind potential which deserves to be given much closer attention.

Full textAbstract:
Jean Degottex, né en 1918 et décédé en 1988, est un peintre qui a exercé des années 1938 jusqu'à sa mort, soit pendant cinquante ans. Se tournant assez tôt dans sa pratique vers une peinture gestuelle, il est vite remarqué pour cela par André Breton qui y voit la mise en pratique de l'automatisme qu'il recherchait dans l'écriture. Il n'a cependant jamais adhéré au surréalisme tout en étant sensible à certains de ses aspects. La poésie en particulier est une de ses sources d'inspiration majeure. Curieux de l'Orient et de ses calligraphies, il montre un intérêt plus particulier pour l'Asie. Après une rupture importante au milieu des années 60, il reprend son travail en se focalisant tour à tour sur le cercle, la déchirure ou encore la ligne afin de mettre en évidence les caractéristiques plastiques de la matière : la toile, le papier, le bois sont ainsi ouverts, écorchés, disséqués et montrés tels quels, afin de ne rien cacher des processus à l’œuvre dans le travail du peintre. Sensible aux climats sociaux de son temps, la peinture est pour lui une façon de militer. A partir de la biographie du peintre, basée sur ses propres archives, ce travail met en évidence ses contacts, ses réseaux et sa place en France et dans le Monde. L'analyse s'arrête sur ses outils et ses méthodes de travail et montre également l'importance du temps et de la chronologie car elle éclaire la logique interne à l’œuvre, permettant de passer d’une pièce ou d'une série (appelée Suite chez Degottex) à la suivanteJean Degottex, was born in 1918 and died in 1988. He worked from 1938 to his death, during fifty years. Early using gestural painting, he is recognized by André Breton for that, who is seeing in this manner the perfect automatism in painting, the same automatism he was seeking in writing. Degottex never subscribed to Surrealism, but he was receptive to some of its aspects. Poesy is one of his major sources of inspiration. Interested in East and its calligraphies, he showed a special interest for Asia. After an important break in his work in the middle of the Sixties, he went back to his work by making a focus on the circle, the rip or the line, with the will to show all the plastic characteritics of the material. Canvas, paper or wood are opened, skinned, dissected and shown as is, with the desire to hide nothing of the processes at work in the painter's work. Sensitive to the social climate of his time, painting was for him a way to militate. From his biography, based on his own archives, this work highlights his contacts, his networks and his place in France and in the World. The analysis put an emphasis on his tools and working methods, and also shows the importance of time and chronology, as it sheds light on the painter's work internal logic, moving from a piece or a series (called Suites by Degottex) to the next one

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude aborde l’activité d’un cercle artistique hongrois d’avant-garde nommé Cercle de Zugló, composé de jeunes peintres et sculpteurs abstraits. Cette formation informelle et autodidacte regroupait les artistes Imre Bak, Tibor Csiky, Sándor Csutoros, Pál Deim, János Fajó, Tamás Hencze, Endre Hortobágyi, Sándor Molnár et István Nádler, et exista de 1958 à 1968, durant la période communiste en Hongrie. Par l’examen de ses antécédents théoriques et stylistiques remontant à l’Ecole Européenne et au Groupe des artistes abstraits (1945-1948), jusqu’à sa résonance dans le retour à peinture des années quatre-vingt nommé Nouvelle Sensibilité (1978-1990), l’auteur tente de déterminer l’importance et la valeur éthique de la production abstraite du Cercle de Zugló dans le paysage artistique hongrois, isolé des actualités internationales et dominé par l’idéologie politique culturelle du réalisme socialiste.La mise en perspective théorique et stylistique permet d’une part de définir à quel point la démarche des jeunes artistes se veut être l’héritière intellectuelle et artistique de la génération plus âgée de l’avant-garde hongroise, d’orientation constructiviste. D’autre part, elle s’efforce de mettre en lumière à quel point le Cercle de Zugló se différencie de ses pères spirituels, par l’introduction et l’adoption de l’abstraction lyrique française, puis de la nouvelle abstraction géométrique américaine. Elle traduit également la volonté de redéfinir une identité artistique hongroise et de la réinsérer dans le contexte et le flux internationauxThis study examines the activity of a Hungarian avant-garde artistic circle named Zugló Circle, formed by young abstract painters and sculptors. Working in a self-taught way, this informal group gathered the artists Imre Bak, Tibor Csiky, Sándor Csutoros, Pál Deim, János Fajó, Tamás Hencze, Endre Hortobágyi, Sándor Molnár and István Nádler, and existed from 1958 to 1968, during the communist period in Hungary. Through the analysis of its theoretical and stylistic antecedents going back the European School and the Group of abstract artists (1945-1948) until its resonance in the new painterly wave of the eighties named New Sensitivity, the author determines the importance, the ethical value of the abstract production of the Zugló Circle in the Hungarian artistic landscape, which at the time was isolated and dominated by the cultural politics ideology of socialist realism.Putting the young artists’ approach in a theoretical and stylistic perspective, the author defines on one hand to which extent it wished to be the intellectual and artistic heir of the older generation of the Hungarian avant-garde, of constructivist orientation. On the other hand, this perspective also sheds light on how the Zugló Circle differentiates from its spiritual fathers, through the introduction and adoption of the French lyrical abstraction and later the American geometrical abstraction. It also reveals the will to redefine a Hungarian artistic identity and to reinsert it in an international context and stream

Full textAbstract:
Art HistoryM.A.
Recent studies of Andean Indigenismo and Andean abstraction tend to overlook the intersections between these two artistic trends, as well as schematize the production of artists who experimented with both. The scholarship on Ecuadorian artist Camilo Egas, for example, only focuses on his role as a precursor of Indigenismo without delving into the diverse artistic styles that intertwine in his transnational career. Such selective interest in his Indigenist production, which tends to focus on his early works from the 1910s to the 1930s in Ecuador, Paris, and the first decade in New York, might be related to the fact that his oeuvre from those periods can be clearly connected to documented developments of modern nationalist painting in the Andean region. Yet, this gap in art historical studies ignores the compelling visual experimentations that Egas undertook in the 1940s and 1950s while residing in New York. Particularly interesting is an exhibition of these works organized in Quito in 1956 by the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, and Egas’s peculiar avant-gardist role in the country’s artistic milieu, at a time when Indigenismo, the country’s dominant aesthetic trend, was being challenged by other alternatives. In this thesis, I examine Egas’s position in-between two different contexts, cultures, and temporalities, which informed artistic experimentations and how these two contexts did not necessarily ascribe to the same ideas of modernism and art’s role in society. This thesis is based in archival research conducted both in Quito, Ecuador, and in New York. From May 2017 to February 2018 I visited several archives in public institutions and private holdings in both countries in search of the exhibited artworks, exhibition ephemera, written reviews of the work, relevant correspondence, Egas’s personal documentation of his work, and other existing academic material, to inform my research and writing.

Full textAbstract:
Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke et Blinky Palermo apparaissent aujourd’hui comme des figures majeures de l’histoire de l’art contemporain allemand. Richter est unanimement reconnu pour l’étendue de sa pratique picturale qui, depuis le début des années soixante, explore tous les registres de la figurabilité à travers l’usage de la photographie, brisant les limites traditionnelles du médium et du style. Polke, bien qu’encore trop méconnu en France, bénéficie de nombreuses expositions dans le monde depuis la fin des années soixante. Sa disparition, en 2010, a suscité de la part de la critique un intérêt nouveau. A la monadologie de Polke, incarnée par la trame sérigraphique au crible de laquelle est passée la vie toute entière, répond la géométrie romantique d’un peintre presque totalement ignoré du public français : Blinky Palermo. Disparu prématurément en 1977, sa popularité - notamment en Allemagne et Etats-Unis – ne cesse de croître depuis le milieu des années soixante-dix. Qu’en est-il précisément de ces trois destins qui, dans les couloirs de l’école d’art de Düsseldorf en 1961 et le voisinage d’une figure chamanique - celle de Joseph Beuys – se sont un jour croisés ? Richter, Polke et Palermo ont d’abord été ces « junge Männer » en quête d’éternité qu’en 1982 chantait Alain Bashung dans son album Play Blessures. Le socle de notre recherche coïncide donc avec les questionnements d’une génération marquée par la culpabilité, le besoin de nouveaux horizons, la conscience de la catastrophe et l’ambiguïté du modèle américain. Richter, Polke et Palermo représentent à eux-seuls un pan entier de l’histoire et de l’art allemandsGerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke and Blinky Palermo are emerging, since the middle of the sixties, as major artists in the context of German contemporary art. Richter is today widely celebrated for the breadth of his pictorial practice which, since the early sixties, explores all registers of painting through the use of photography, breaking the traditional boundaries of the medium and style. Polke, although still too little known in France, has many exhibitions around the world since the late sixties. His death in 2010 sparked criticism from a new interest. Polke’s Monadology, embodied by the reproduction of the Ben-Day Dots printing process, encounters the Euclidean geometry of a romantic painter almost totally ignored by the French public : Blinky Palermo. Died prematurely in 1977, his popularity - especially in Germany and the United States - is constantly growing since the mid-seventies. What precisely connects these three painters, in the neighborhood of the shamanic personality of Joseph Beuys? That is the question we solve. Richter, Polke and Palermo were first these "junge Männer" in search of eternity Alain Bashung in 1982 sang in his album Play Blessures. The rhythm of our research is given by the history of a generation marked by guilt, the need for new horizons, awareness of the disaster and the ambiguity of the American model. Richter, Polke and Palermo are on their own an entire part of history and German art

Full textAbstract:
Aurélie Nemours (Paris, 1910-2005) est, dans sa génération, la figure la plus marquante de l'abstraction dite géométrique en France. Ce catalogue raisonné de son oeuvre répertorie 1180 oeuvres créées de 1948 à 2005, principalement des peintures à l'huile, groupées en 20 familles, y ajoutant les vitraux de Notre Dame de Salagon et les Alignements du XXIe siècle à Rennes. A la lumière des propres commentaires de l'artiste et de son oeuvre poétique, il tente de retracer la logique interne de son parcours et de dégager son originalité. Aurélie Nemours débute dans le sillage du cubisme. Sans connaître les pionniers de l'art abstrait, elle élabore un vocabulaire plastique qui la rapproche de l'art construit, mais elle développe très vite une abstraction toute personnelle. Dans les potentialités d'une figure géométrique - le point et ses déclinaisons en ligne et en plan-, elle cherche à exprimer l'expérience d'une intériorité vécue jusqu'à l'universel, donnant à penser la totalité, l'unité, l'inifité de l'être, dans la multiplicité, la diversité, la diversité, l'individuation du monde. Le plan requérant la couleur, elle le travaille avec une subtilité où rigueur et sensibilité s'équilibrent. L'oeuvre peint est pour l'essentiel conservé dans les collections privées, et pour un cinquième environ dans les collections publiques, majoritairement en France, puis princinpalement en Allemagne et en SuisseAurélie Nemours (Paris, 1910-2005) is the most outstanding French figure of the so-called geometrical art in her generation. This descriptive catalogue of her works lists 1180 works created from 1948 to 2005, mostly oil painting, grouped within 20 families, adding stained , glass windows of the Notre Dame de Salagon and the Alignments of the twenty-first century in Rennes. In the light of comments by the artist and of her poetry, the catalogue tries to follow the inner logic of her course and to point out her originality. Aurélie Nemours begins in the wake of cubism. Without knowing the pioneers of abstract art, she develops a formal vocabulary which approximates constructive art, but she rapidly acquires an entirely personal abstraction. In the potential of a geometrical - the point and its versions in line and plane - she seeks to express an inmost experience lived up to the universal, suggesting the totality, the unity, the infinity of the being, in the multiplicity, the diversity, the individuality of the world. The plane requires the colour : Aurelie Nemours works it with subtlety, sensitivity balancing exactitude. Her works are mostly conserved in private collections, 1/5 in public collections, maily in France, and besides in Germany and Switzerland

Full textAbstract:
L’œuvre d’Antonioni constitue un champ privilégié pour initier une étude du paysage dans l’art cinématographique. Notre étude se focalise sur le dépaysement cinématographique d’Antonioni, de Blow up (1966) à son retour en Italie avec Identification d’une femme (1982). Notre étude vise à marquer l’importance d’une conception mouvante et cinéplastique du paysage, intégrant la question du montage, du mouvement (de l’image et dans l’image), pour dégager les forces rythmiques, métamorphiques et plastiques de l’image-paysage au cinéma. A partir de ces forces, nous souhaitons ouvrir la question du paysage à l’aune de la notion de dépaysement. Le dépaysement constitue un matériau opérant pour penser l’image cinématographique, sa déterritorialisation, son mouvement. Dépayser le paysage entraîne chez Antonioni un dialogue avec l’Histoire de l’art qui implique de repenser les questions esthétiques majeures du XXème siècle (de l’abstraction à l’art informel, en passant par le Land Art et la performance) dans le champ d’une étude cinématographique. La question du dépaysement nécessite de proposer de nouveaux outils pour penser le paysage au cinéma. Nous proposons de nommer « entre-paysage » la constitution d’un paysage qui intègre les processus propres à l’image cinématographique dans sa plastique, en nous appuyant sur les notions d’intervalle et d’entre-image. Un « entre-paysage » cinématographique, tel qu’il est possible de le définir dans l’œuvre d’Antonioni, ouvre une mobilisation plastique de l’image-paysage qui nous permet d’interroger en retour la pratique artistique contemporaineThe work of Antonioni is a fertile field to study landscape in cinematographic art. This study focuses on Antonioni's cinematographic disorientation, from Blow up (1966) to its come-back in Italy with Identification of a woman (1982). My work aims at showing the importance of a changing and cineplastic vision of landscape which integrates the question of editing, motion (of image and inside the image itself), in order to highlight the rhythmic, metamorphic and plastic strenghts of the image-landscape in the cinema. Having shown these strenghts, I intend to interrogate the question of landscape from the notion of disorientation. Disorientation represents an operating materiel to think the cinematographic image, its deterritorialisation, its motion. Disorientating landscape in Antonioni's work leads to a dialogue with art history, which implies to rethink the major aesthethic questions of the 20th century (from abstraction to informal art, by Land-Art and performance) in the context of a cinematographic study. The question of disorientation requires new tools to rethink landscape in the cinema. I suggest to name « inter-landscape » the constitution of a landscape which integrates peculiar to image in its plastic processes relying on notions suchs as interval and inter-images. A cinematographic « inter-landscape », as can be define from the work of Antonioni, offers a plastic mobilisation of the image-landscape which allows to interrogate, in turn, contemporary artistic practice
