Naissance de l'art contemporain. 1945-1970. Une histoire mondiale

Autor: Beatrice Joyeux-prunel

Número de Páginas: 626

New York a-t-il vraiment été le centre de l'innovation artistique depuis 1945, comme on le lit partout ? Une hégémonie mondiale s'étudie à l'échelle mondiale. Or, l'approche comparée démonte le mythe de l'art new-yorkais et souligne l'apparition, dès les années 1950, d'un système internationalisé mais inégalitaire de production des œuvres et des carrières. Fondé sur le renouvellement rapide des écuries artistiques et la recherche systématique de l'originalité, ce système spéculatif entretenait la concurrence entre pays, musées, marchands, artistes et collectionneurs. Dans une perspective aussi bien sociale et économique qu'esthétique et géopolitique, Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel explore cet univers des avant-gardes artistiques de 1945 à 1970. Cette histoire mondiale de l'art parle aussi des œuvres et des personnes. Elle interroge des tournants mondiaux étonnants : le choix matiériste de certains artistes dans les années 1950, la violence sadomasochiste de quelques groupes après 1961, et la soudaine politisation des artistes vers 1965 (alors que Mao, Cuba, le Vietnam et la décolonisation les avaient jusque-là peu intéressés). Du concrétisme...

The Black Hole of the Camera

Autor: J.j. Murphy

Número de Páginas: 320

“One acclaimed filmmaker takes the measure of another! Murphy’s candid and richly personal account of Andy Warhol’s filmmaking is a brilliant contribution to our understanding of one of cinema’s most original and prolific masters, exploring the artist's multiple forms of psychodrama with a filmmaker’s insight and attention to detail. As more and more of the restored Warhol films become available, this book will remain an indispensable handbook for film historians and general moviegoers alike—especially because it is such a genuine pleasure to read."—David E. James, author of The Most Typical Avant-Garde: History and Geography of Minor Cinemas in Los Angeles. “Those of us who care about independent cinema have always struggled with Andy Warhol’s massive oeuvre. At long last J.J. Murphy, who has spent a lifetime making contributions to independent cinema, has undertaken the Herculean task of helping us understand Warhol’s development as a filmmaker. Murphy’s precision, stamina, and passion are evident in this examination of an immense body of work—as is his ability to report what he has discovered in a readable and informative manner. The Black Hole of the...

La invención de la creatividad

Autor: Andreas Reckwitz

Número de Páginas: 451

Ser creativo no solo expresa un deseo en las sociedades contemporáneas, sino que se ha convertido en un imperativo y en un modelo cultural universal. ¿Cómo la idea minoritaria y elitista de la creación estética del artista, asociada a la realización de un potencial natural e innato, ha llegado a forjar un modelo social de la creatividad universalmente vinculante? Andreas Reckwitz analiza críticamente cómo este imperativo se ha desarrollado desde los años setenta del siglo pasado hasta la actualidad, extendiéndose a los más diversos ámbitos de una manera tan contradictoria y conflictiva como eficaz, en un marcado proceso de estetización social: en el arte de vanguardia y el posmodernismo, en la psicología de la creatividad y del crecimiento personal, en la economía de la innovación y las industrias creativas, en los medios de comunicación y el star system creativo o en el urbanismo de las ciudades creativas. Indaga así en cómo la transformación de los viejos ideales emancipadores de la creatividad ha traído consigo nuevos tipos de coerciones basados en la innovación estética permanente, en un ciclo interminable y nunca satisfactorio de actos creativos....

The Golden Avant-garde

Autor: Raphael Sassower , Louis Cicotello

Número de Páginas: 164

A philosopher and an artist place the phenomenon of avant garde in different perspectives. They wonder how avant garde artists navigate the cultural, financial and technological challenges in past and present. They draw the conclusion that artists have become adept at manipulating the same forces that they seek to exaggerate and articulate in their work.

L'Art de la peinture, un questionnement par la Science économique

Autor: Jean Cornelis

Número de Páginas: 304

Si l'amateur de peinture est généralement nourri par les textes d'historiens d'art ou de critiques d'art, le peintre y apparaît comme un individu enfermé dans sa bulle créatrice. Questionner le contexte socio-économique de l'artiste enrichit l'étude de l'historien en documentant les contraintes et les objectifs du peintre en matière de position sociale, d'ambitions financières ou de vie de tous les jours. Ces hypothèses, ajoutées à l'approche traditionnelle, permettent ainsi de présenter une grille multidisciplinaire de lecture d'une peinture. Se voulant une introduction à l'art d'apprécier une peinture, au travers de critères esthétiques, enrichis par un questionnement économique, cette démarche originale s'attache à mettre au service des amoureux de l'art, de l'amateur au spécialiste, un outil pédagogique et un instrument de développement personnel. Ce guide se prête ainsi à une lecture tant collective, lors d'ateliers de découverte, qu'individuelle.

Autor: Edith Arbeláez Jaramillo

Número de Páginas: 131

La reflexión sobre la fotografía como arte en Colombia es nueva, y en tanto que nueva, desafiante para quien se lo propone, sobre todo, cuando dicha reflexión no se adscribe sólo a la crítica de arte sino que apela a la recepción genuina del arte: a la comprensión de las imágenes y a su vinculación con el mundo de la vida.

Andy Warhol

Autor: Stefana Sabin

Número de Páginas: 221

Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987) galt als Papst der Popkunst; mit Bildern von Produkten der Lebensmittel- und Unterhaltungsindustrie wurde er zum Star der internationalen Kunstszene, mit Filmen zum Meister des experimentellen Kinos, mit Porträts zum Liebling des Jet-set. Warhols künstlerische Entwicklung sinkt ab von der Erfindung avantgardistischer Darstellungsformen zur Routine gefälliger Verkaufskunst, sein Lebensweg steigt auf aus der Armut seiner Pittsburgher Jugend zum Glanz seiner New Yorker «Factories». Das Bildmaterial der Printausgabe ist in diesem E-Book nicht enthalten.

Politisierter Konsum - konsumierte Politik

Autor: Jörn Lamla , Sighard Neckel

Número de Páginas: 292

Der Band zeichnet den Wandel des Politischen in einer durch Vermarktlichungsprozesse und Konsumkultur geprägten Gesellschaft nach. Analysiert wird, wie der moderne Konsum zum Gegenstand von Politisierungsprozessen geworden ist, sei es in Entwürfen für alternative Wirtschaftsordnungen, in alltäglichen Formen einer "Politik mit dem Einkaufskorb" oder etwa in Aufrufen zum Kampf gegen Fettleibigkeit. Vor allem die Aneignung der politischen Ästhetik neuerer Protestformen durch die Werbung sowie die Kommentierungen von Protest in der modernen Kunst verdeutlichen die Risiken einer "Lifestyle-Politik", selbst in Konsumismus umzuschlagen oder das Politische nur noch ästhetisch zu verstehen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Politik- und Bewegungsformen, die Anleihen bei der Markt- und Markenkultur machen, auf ihre Macht- und Einflusschancen befragt.

Hiding Man

Autor: Tracy Daugherty

Número de Páginas: 425

In the 1960s Donald Barthelme came to prominence as the leader of the Postmodern movement. He was a fixture at the New Yorker, publishing more than 100 short stories, including such masterpieces as "Me and Miss Mandible," the tale of a thirty-five-year-old sent to elementary school by clerical error, and "A Shower of Gold," in which a sculptor agrees to appear on the existentialist game show Who Am I? He had a dynamic relationship with his father that influenced much of his fiction. He worked as an editor, a designer, a curator, a news reporter, and a teacher. He was at the forefront of literary Greenwich Village which saw him develop lasting friendships with Thomas Pynchon, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Wolfe, Grace Paley, and Norman Mailer. Married four times, he had a volatile private life. He died of cancer in 1989. The recipient of many prestigious literary awards, he is best remembered for the classic novels Snow White, The Dead Father, and many short stories, all of which remain in print today. Hiding Man is the first biography of Donald Barthelme, and it is nothing short of a masterpiece.

J.G. Ballard's Surrealist Imagination

Autor: Jeannette Baxter

Número de Páginas: 253

Making the case that J. G. Ballard's fictional and non-fictional writings must be read within the framework of Surrealism, Jeannette Baxter argues for a radical revisioning of Ballard that takes account of the political and ethical dimensions of his work. Ballard's appropriation of diverse Surrealist aesthetic forms and political writings, Baxter suggests, are mobilised to contest official narratives of postwar history and culture and offer a series of counter-historical and counter-cultural critiques. Thus Ballard's work must be understood as an exercise in Surrealist historiography that is politically and ethically engaged. Placing Ballard's illustrated texts within this critical framework permits Baxter to explore the effects of photographs, drawings, and other visual symbols on the reading experience and the production of meaning. Ballard's textual spectacles raise a variety of questions about the shifting role of the reader and the function of the written text within a predominantly visual culture, while acknowledging the visual contexts of Ballard's Surrealist writings allows a very different historical picture of the author and his work to emerge.

Spiritual Moderns

Autor: Erika Doss

Número de Páginas: 348

Examines how and why religion matters in the history of modern American art. Andy Warhol is one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century. He was also an observant Catholic who carried a rosary, went to mass regularly, kept a Bible by his bedside, and depicted religious subjects throughout his career. Warhol was a spiritual modern: a modern artist who appropriated religious images, beliefs, and practices to create a distinctive style of American art. Spiritual Moderns centers on four American artists who were both modern and religious. Joseph Cornell, who showed with the Surrealists, was a member of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Mark Tobey created pioneering works of Abstract Expressionism and was a follower of the Bahá’í Faith. Agnes Pelton was a Symbolist painter who embraced metaphysical movements including New Thought, Theosophy, and Agni Yoga. And Warhol, a leading figure in Pop art, was a lifelong Catholic. Working with biographical materials, social history, affect theory, and the tools of art history, Doss traces the linked subjects of art and religion and proposes a revised interpretation of American modernism.

Das Künstlerinterview

Autor: Christoph Lichtin

Número de Páginas: 186

Der Kunstbetrieb produziert heute eine grosse Anzahl Interviews und verbreitet sie in verschiedenen Medien. Im Interview erscheint der Künstler als unmittelbarer Interpret seines Werks. Das Authentische der direkten Rede fasziniert, lässt jedoch vergessen, dass das Interview in einem bestimmten Kontext entstand und für die Veröffentlichung stark bearbeitet wurde. Diese Publikation behandelt die zeitgebundenen, genrespezifischen, inhaltlichen und personenabhängigen Aspekte, die das Interview zu einem komplexen Konstrukt machen. Die einzelnen Kapitel fokussieren die Fragestellungen, die für eine umfassende Analyse von Interviews mit Künstlern wichtig sind. Es werden bedeutende Beispiele aus der Geschichte des Künstlerinterviews vorgestellt wie auch der Stellenwert von Interviews innerhalb der künstlerischen Tätigkeit eines einzelnen Künstlers analysiert. Neben immer wiederkehrenden typischen Themen wird auf klassische Gesprächsverläufe und Strategien verwiesen sowie nach den spezifischen Motiven der Kunsthistoriker gefragt. Als gemeinschaftliche Werkinterpretation wird das Interview zum kunstgeschichtlichen Genre, in welchem modellhaft ein Argumentationsprozess zur...

Andy Warhol's Religious and Ethnic Roots

Autor: Raymond M. Herbenick

Número de Páginas: 294

Sharing Warhol's roots in a Pittsburgh Carpatho-Rusyn community, Hebenick (philosophy, U. of Dayton, Ohio) pays tribute on the 10th anniversary of the pop artist's death to his work and their heritage rooted in NE Slovakia, Ukraine, and Poland. In four studies (ethnographic, biographical, autobiographical, and aesthetic), the author traces the style of the creator of pop icons like silk-screened Campbell's soup cans and Marilyn Monroe images to the religiously-based folk art of Easter egg decorating (pysanky) and the sacred icons of the Greek Orthodox church. The only art appears on the cover and is traditional, not that of Warhol. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Invention of Creativity

Autor: Andreas Reckwitz

Número de Páginas: 300

Contemporary society has seen an unprecedented rise in both the demand and the desire to be creative, to bring something new into the world. Once the reserve of artistic subcultures, creativity has now become a universal model for culture and an imperative in many parts of society. In this new book, cultural sociologist Andreas Reckwitz investigates how the ideal of creativity has grown into a major social force, from the art of the avant-garde and postmodernism to the ‘creative industries’ and the innovation economy, the psychology of creativity and self-growth, the media representation of creative stars, and the urban design of ‘creative cities’. Where creativity is often assumed to be a force for good, Reckwitz looks critically at how this imperative has developed from the 1970s to the present day. Though we may well perceive creativity as the realization of some natural and innate potential within us, it has rather to be understood within the structures of a very specific culture of the new in late modern society. The Invention of Creativity is a bold and refreshing counter to conventional wisdom that shows how our age is defined by radical and restrictive processes of ...
