Fassbender-Nierhoff, Astrid. "Enjeux et figurations du corps dans l'œuvre du poète Gottfried Benn comparée à celle des artistes Max Beckmann et George Grosz." Montpellier 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009MON30058.
Full textThis study on the work of the poet Gottfried Benn (1886–1956) and the artists Max Beckmann (1884–1950) and George Grosz (1893–1959) exemplary describes the view of the human body at the beginning of the 20th century and opens towards the specific mutuality of text and image. Indeed, numerous questions have been shared by these three artists on the ‹ nature › of man, his body, his identity and his relation to reality. Their generation was embedded in historicism and a “crisological” view on modernity as stated by Gerard Raulet. The work of Benn is convincingly made accessible to analysis in the stress field of these two artists. Their works are compared with each other beginning with an analysis of their profound structures, i. E. Through a comparison of the iconographic or stylistic signs which reflect the artistic and philosophical approaches that underlie each work of art. This study analyzes the human body referring to the ‹ grotesque › rupture with regard to classical ideals and localizes the human body in relationship to a fantastic conception of reality. It questions the classification of these artists within the classical modernity and avant-garde and put into perspective the more recent attempts to classify Grosz and Benn as precursors if not representatives of postmodernism. Finally, this study allows shedding new light into the allegations concerning the intellectual vicinity of Gottfried Benn with the Nazi regime, knowing that Beckmann and Grosz always absented themselves from fascism

Full textThe way they’ve been retained by Art historiography, Paul Rebeyrolle’s work and his carreer (1945-2005) appear to be problematic beyond this strict definition, factual basis for an hypothetical encyclopedia entry : what defines a French painter under the 4th and 5th republics ? Paul Rebeyrolle is well-knowed for being under-estimated, always acknowledged as a great painter, sometimes even praised as one of the most important painters of that period, in France, but still limited to the smallest share of the French history of contemporary art, when this one finds it appropriate to mention it.Yet he benefited of an early success, during the 50’s, in the wake of painters such as Bernard Lorjou and especially Bernard Buffet, before enduring a similar disavowal. An art dealer as important as Aimé Maeght and preface writers as renowned as Jean-Paul Sartre or Michel Foucault didn’t make any difference. Thus, he appears to be paradigmatic of an entire part of French art which, under the 5th republic and its cultural policy, seems to have been downgraded for a certain number of reasons that still needs to be evaluated : aesthetic disagreements, plastic discords, denial inherited from the abstract and figurative painters’ quarrel, unsaid things about the artist’s political commitment, art critics’ vagueness and preconceived opinions, journalistic frivolity fond of clichés... As many misunderstandings that led to interfere with a fair appraisal regarding his work and prevented him from ever getting a real institutional recognition

Full textThe Chinese artist Feng Zikai (1898-1975) really belongs to his time by creating a kind of fast and simple drawing, which is perfectly suited to journals, in full expansion in the modern metropolis of Shanghai in the thirties. Made with ink and brush, in a style which is both Chinese and Western, the manhua is an art midway between painting and literature, because it has a precise meaning thanks to the caption. The manhua is very often combined with the writing of “familiar” essays (xiaopinwen), literary form which is also concise and casual. The aim of this study is to show how the dynamism of the work of an artist like Feng Zikai originates from the dialogue between pictures and texts, whose several sides we analyse and which produces a third level of meaning
Xerri, Catherine. "L'oeuvre d'Antoni Clavé : peinture, idéologie et histoire." Paris 3, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA030212.
Full textA. Clave is a contemporary catalonian painter. Born in 1913 he starts off a house-painter in barcelone. He then specializes in cinema posters. Engaged during the civil war in the republican propagenda services he leaves the country in 1939 and establishes himself in paris. His first work is marked by the avant-guarde movement of the 30's. In the 40's his work is influence by the intimist movement. He then developed his own individual style. The last work are full of lyrism and abstaction. Continuity, use of the materials and innovation make the specificity of his work as well as its originality. However the artist refuses any kind of theory about his work, prefering the langage of the painting. He was recognized very early in france and in spain and art dealers promote his work. In the 60's clave is often classifled as a belonging to the "ecole de paris" a definition that is purely formal. The artis always kept in close touch with his fellow country-men and has participated in many collective exhibitions. Although deeply influenced by a very specific spanish culture, his art transcendes regionalism to attain an international dimension thanks to the confluence between french and spanish culture

Full textThe artistic experience of Giuseppe De Nittis (1846-1884), an Italian painter working in Paris from 1868, represents an important art history case for studies devoted to nineteenth-century European interest in Japanese art. Around 1878, ten years after his arrival in Paris, De Nittis was already a publicly recognized artist, integrated in the avant-garde artistic and literary circles. His salon became one of the most famous places of the city. Among his guests, one could find the most passionate amateurs and collectors of Japanese art. The Italian artist assembled a very fine Japanese art collection which included high quality works of art such as a kakemono by Watanabe Seitei (1851-1918), a Japanese artist arrived in Paris in 1878 during the Exposition Universelle. While he was in Paris, Seitei made some demonstrations of Japanese painting witch left a lively memory in all who, like De Nittis, were fortunate enough to observe them. Analysis of the posthumous inventory of the painter’s possessions, of some unpublished notes written by him, and the study of various literary sources, have helped us to reconstitute the Japonisant environment in which he lived. They also allowed us to reconstruct his Oriental collection and all the objects he loved to surround himself with and from which he took frequently his inspiration

Full textThis thesis is a monograph on Lee Ufan (a Korean artist born in 1936) in which we focus on the presence of the unpainted, undone part in his work, which we term ‘untouched space'. This expression emphasises the artist's minimal intervention and encompasses pictorial space as well as sculptural space. From this standpoint, we propose an overview of the development of Lee Ufan's work, devoting a substantial section to his Mono-ha period – Mono-ha being a Japanese movement (1968-1973?) of which he was both the theorist and a leading artist – during which the idea of non-action first appeared in his work. In a review of untouched space in 20th century painting, we also attempt to place Lee Ufan's approach within a broader historical context, as it eventually enters into a dialogue with the outside world

Full textThe work of the American abstract artist Brice Marden, born in 1938, is made up of two parts outwardly distinct: paintings with monochromatic panels and pictures with a network of lines, which earlier works on paper announced. It is actually very coherent, subjected to opacity and to transparency alike. If the latter is a temptation, the opacity is always triumphant. Two actions of the artist are essential in connection with that: recovering and erasing. His works, whose titles refer to reality or to the whole art history but whose real subjects are death, melancholy, memory and presence, question the possibilities of abstract painting and declare its vitality

Full textJoyce Manour 's work is a striking, sometimes anguishing example of Breton's concept of « communicating vessels » : the subconscious's hidden wounds seep into her writing leaving traces of desire, death and an inextinguishable yet desparate will to live. Parallel to this, the very visual, camal nature of her words provides a « mirror of desire » which enables the intimate echoing between her poetry and the works of her artist friends. Through their collaborations, they sublimate, enhance, comment on and illustrate each other. Each in their own way, they share the same anguish. commit the same transgressions, exercise the sa me freedom. Art and poetry connect deeply. This thesis aims to follow the symbiosis between images, words and experiences which characterises Joyce Mansours work. It reveals itself in the collection of Oceanic art she built up with her husbanc, Samir Mansour ; in the Objets méchants she created using material gleaned from scrapyards or bought at the BHV ... which express a need to intensify daily life, seek its essence in order to escape tedium ; in the elective affinities she shares with with the artists that enrich her works, as she does theirs. This « mirror of desire» is both personal - an expression of the poetess' s destiny, haunted by death and its traumas - and collective, as it seems to reflect the phantasmagorical landscape of a generation hungry for freedom, but haunted, like Joyce Mansour, by the mass graves of successive wars, and in rebellion against the non-life of the living

Full textThis PhD thesis questions the label « Ecole romaine » (also known as Scuola romana) used to designate a group of painters and sculptors in Rome between 1918 and 1945. We aim to understand the reasons for the success of this expression until now. We use various methods in order to investigate the discourses of both art critics and scholars as well as more fictional texts, often written as testimonies. Furthermore, this work analyses the singular career of each artist and the reception of their works in order to consider the Ecole Romaine within a history of taste in Italy and abroad. Our study follows a chronological development. First, we analyse the reception of the School when active, between 1918 and 1945. Then, we examine the place of our artists in post-war Italy, in a context of great political divisions. Finally, we study how, in the early 1980s, various actors on the artistic scene tried to raise the value of the Ecole Romaine's works on the art market. What were the results of their attempt, and to what extent this renewal of interest had a lasting impact, especially in the museums field ? The questions of artistic modernity and of the relationship between the Ecole Romaine and the fascist regime are central in this research. These constitute new approaches to a theme which has remained relatively unknown outside of Italy

Full textIf abstraction did not kill landscape painting, how would the pictorial genre survive within the context of contemporary painting? What would be the meaning of the term abstract landscape? Under which circumstances and conditions would an abstract landscape be possible? This research tries to address these questions by investigating the paradox of a landscape which does not represent mimetically space seen from a higher point at a glance, as Fénelon would put it.The works of Cy Twombly and Gerhard Richter are used as means for this exploration since they present two different modalities of a landscape which overcomes and preserves itself at the same time. In this respect, both Twombly and Richter attempt to implement rupture and continuity: between landscape form and landscape experience within the gallery space, between western landscape tradition (Poussin, Turner, Friedrich) and contemporary American painting (Pollock,Rothko and Rauschenberg), between painting and other media or arts (poetry for Twombly, photography and literature for Richter). This way, this study is constructed by a set of contradictions which make abstract landscape possible. This abstract landscape renews landscape genre, frees it from its traditional rules and opens it to new and surprising forms

Full textDuring the first half of the 20th century, several European avant-garde movements were introduced in Japan, where they grew within a short period of time, sometimes intermingling, which was quite inconceivable from an Occidental perspective. This characteristic was obvious in the case of Japanese surrealism, a synthetic cultural object. During the 1930s, the increasing pressure on artists and intellectuals gave it an even more singular dimension. Like many Japanese painters, Kitawaki Noboru (1901-1951) was interested in surrealism, but he quickly moved away from the Western model to begin a singular artistic exploration through his "Schematic Paintings", with which he aimed to construct a model of reality that appeared less and less ordered in a time of trouble and which consequently could no longer be understood. In this way he aimed to give back to man the place that should be his. Kitawaki’s attempts to draw inspiration from the most diverse fields, without any real temporal, geographical or disciplinary limitations, evoke the work of Renaissance polymath artists. His production, while inseparable from the context, cannot be perceived only in relation to historical events. The in-depth analysis of several of his writings and works, as well as the theoretical and practical schemas he developed (notably the question of the pictorial void) provide information on the painter's aim, which—in contrast to standards—was as much concerned with the background as it was with the motifs of his canvases, and which was more concerned with the manner in which elements were combined than with the elements themselves

Full textJapanese and brazilian cultures, so far and different from each other, go alaong together in Manabu Mabe's work. His refined stroke reveals the secular heritage of his mother country. Is also reflets, among the chromatic vivacity, the weather's vigour and the tropical landscape of the country he lives. His abstract work is extremely modern. It's composed by a great chromatic force and an harmonious elegant formal equilibrium. As a great colorist, he appreciates wide surfaces in plains, which are opposed by very expressive graphical zones. The developpement of colors; generously poured out, produces therefore a free gesture, wider and wider. The artist seems to use always the same shapes, either in big profusion phases or in relatively despoiled periods. It leads to a cyclical movement in his work. The same elements are layed out differentely creating a very logical combinatory whole. The main features of Mabean work are : the presence of the cercle, connected to the frame-work and the steadfast opposition of two shapes in distinct texture, one in plains, the other one in graphical strokes

Full textAll through the history of Western art, literature and painting have had polemical but constructive relationships. In the thick of this exchange, the representation of the Dutch painting of the Golden age is brought out in strong relief in contemporary novels. Among the reasons for the particular interest of the novelists in this school of painting, can be found : its innovating strength, its profuse production, its closeness with the world of the novel ; and also, among he crowd of talented little masters, the patronage of some legendary figures now seen as the beacons of the artistic universe : Rembrandt, Vermeer and Hals. Having forced its way into the novel with Balzac, Dutch painting is then seen in Gautier's and the Goncourts'work, and holds a high rank in Remembrance of Things Past : Rembrandt is indisputably recognized as a genius, and Proust bas highly contributed to the recognition of Vermeer's excellence. Dutch painters may sometimes be met in the work of some acknowledged authors, but are mostly represented in the recent popular editions. This study deals with the status bestowed on to the description by French and English novels since Proust, with the means used to involve the painting - as an object - in the narrative dynamic, with the way the legendary figure of the painters is perpetuated or bent, and in the end, with what's become today of the artist's novel

Full textJean-Paul Marcheschi (born in 1951) draws the attention of the public and the institutional by the meeting of the writing and the fire in his works. This French painter-sculptor uses the torches of fire by way of brush ; the candles of his tool form some soot, some wax and create burns on some paper covered with handwritten writings. For about thirty years, this technique allows him to realize figurative and abstract works. His fame acquired a European dimension from the years ninety. The objective of this thesis is to show how his art uses writing and fire. This study allows to approach in particular the question of the separable character andor the inseparable character between these elements. Even if these two means of expression meet in his paintings, and even if their combination is read in some of our pictorial analyses, they are however treated separately, because the writing appeared in his works before the fire, and the first experiments with the fire did not ask for the intervention of writings. Besides, the meeting between these elements does not concern for the greater part his objects and his sculptures. This thesis moreover consists of two parts : the first one is dedicated to the writing and the second is dedicated to the fire in his production

Full textThe study of music in the life and work (Argentine, 1887-1963) reveals new aspects of a very particular personality. Painter, writer and linguist, but also astrologist and inventor, Xul Solar studied many subjects. The sound is integrated into a complex tissue of knowledge that finds visual form in his watercolours, drawings and oil paintings, in his puppet theatre, in his variation of chess. The invented musical notation systems, as well as the keyboards modified to allow their application, are the result of deep thought on the interralation between the arts. His linguistic and esoteric works also show the inluence of music. In order to clarify the implications of this subject, this dissertation approaches it in three stages: firstly, the biography of the artist is presented in three chapters, emphazing the role that music played in hid life (family heritage, studies, musical relations, influence of the milieu, musical affinities, collections, etc. ). Secondly, his investigation on music relatd aspects, such as notation, organology and the application of the interrelation of the arts, are organised in the three following chapters. Finally, the presence of music in his pictorial work is studied in the third part, by means of the analysis, sometimes accompanied by more or less audacious interpretations, of some thirty music related paintings. Xul Solar's figure and work are at every stage placed in the historical and aesthetic context in order to comprehend their real value

Full textThe Western Sculpture has always, or almost always, been immobile and silent. In the 1960's appears in Europe a new form of arts that mixes sculpture and sound elements, sometimes accompanied by movement that appeals to participation of the viewer, by chance, by playing and that seems to cross the lines of artistic categories, challenging the Romanticism and the Gesamtkunstwerk of Richard Wagner. The aim of this thesis is to search for sources and origins of the sound sculpture. What mechanisms and what influences pushed artists to introduce the sound into their sculptures. Can we still really talk about it as sculpture? How can this practice be defined according to other contemporary artistic practices? How to designate the produced sounds? The proposed approach is a historical consideration that gives preference to two main tracks. On the one hand the modern world, the scientific advancement and the sound world knew unprecedented upsets at the turn of the XXth century that make daily live a reservoir of noises, materials and theories from which artists, painters, sculptors or musicians were inspired. On the other hand, the interactions between music and arts, appearing as an obvious source and being at the heart of this subject of sound sculpture and its sources, reaching an unprecedented craze in the history of art. At last, the sound sculpture is studied through the example of works by Tinguely, Schöffer, Takis or Soto, that allow a clear definition of the Baschet sound structures.

Burford, Jennifer. "Vers une radicalisation du mouvement et de la continuité : Robert Breer, peintre, sculpteur et cinéaste." Paris 1, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA010599.
Full textTo study movement in painting, various questions were raised during each art period. Artists have taken a great interest in the camera oscura as well as photography and cinematography as tools to analyze composition, framing and successive positions of subjects and objects. The interest of the avant-gardes for these questions, and the implications of research in plastic arts which followed, characterized the ongoing crisis of representation which marked a great part of the history of modern and contemporary art. This crisis often goes simultaneously along with experimenting the limits of definition and basics of each art practice, whether classical or recent. For example, Robert Breer, a contemporary American artist, is often presented as a painter who evolved towards film. As early as the fifties, he began to work with flip-books (or folioscopes), a pre-cinematographical object which allows observing the process of projection - image by image. This object structured the evolution of his research from which developed a form of displacement or shifting (in both the mechanical and psychoanalytical sense. This polysemy allowed several breakthroughs in artistic research. Breer explored three mediums - painting, sculpture and film, a polymorphous body of work where he transferred principles explored in one field to the two others. This unusual process reveals a "playful" attitude towards the limits of these mediums. In his film work, interlacing / interweaving editing techniques began to emerge. This type of montage transgressed conventional notions of movement and continuity in a radical manner and contributed to confer a specificity to experimental film
Touret, Michel. "Les Ménines : un cas d'analyse par Picasso." Rennes 2, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987REN20027.
Full textPictorial analysis connects relations between one picture and another made according to it: it is an analysis of a painting made by a painter with pictorial means. This study of these relations concerns Picasso’s Meninas: he painted las Meninas according to Velasquez' ones and made an analysis of his own picture through fifteen-seven successive pictures. From this series, unified by his activity, relations give out and a law of production emerges. Picasso's working method is being discovered, so are the principles he put in play and the consequences of this practice; the analysis halts between two poles: a professional one which points at relations between paintings, indifferent to relations between the painter and his painting, - a person alone which insists on relations between them. As to make his analysis more objective, Picasso planed a multiform strategy: he fabricates allusions and references to other paintings and works, his proper ones or great painters’ ones. He produced large numbers of dedications, organized the story of his Meninas through exhibition, collection and legacy to a museum. This pictorial analysis warrants him by a practice and, beyond a practice, to get a good standing among his past or present peers in a mutual society of painters. This study, by a progressive reading of the pictures, conducts to an explanation of the relations the weave and call. So to do, we paintings, their basis, the moment of their elaboration and further, out of a serie, Picasso’s paintings and works; we examine too others artists' works and writings in order to explain Picasso’s general practice and more precisely the typical one he planed for his Meninas
Wang, Jiaqi. "Du chaos au chaosmos : pour une approche de la création littéraire et picturale d’Henri Michaux." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCA069.
Full textThis study consists in creating an original portrait of “Michaux described as unclassifiable”, by using two particular figures: “chaos” and “chaosmos”, applied for the first time to criticism on the whole of the literary and pictorial creation of Michaux. The term “chaosmos”, a Joycian oxymoronic neologism, taken up by critics and philosophers of the twentieth century, from Umberto Eco to Philip Kuberski, from Gilles Deleuze to Félix Guattari in a wider context of scientific and social life, refers, in essence, to a relation of “osmosis” between “chaos” and “cosmos”, a form of internal continuity between order and disorder, which give rises to a paradoxical, composed cosmos. This notion will make it possible to rebalance the overall vision of the work of Michaux, by making communication between the part that belongs to chaos, to the trouble side and the part of order, on the eastern side. In effect, Michaux constantly oscillates between these two opposite but complementary directions: On the one hand, he maintains an open relationship with chaos which becomes a factor of creation; on the other hand, from this dive into chaos, he strives to maintain an equilibrium, to acquire unity and consistency without losing anything from the infinite. This is how chaosmos takes shape in secret, appears implicitly and works discreetly in Michaux’s creation: it expresses the opening of a Whole and integrates heterogeneous movements within it; it seems sufficiently finite at every moment but capable of complementing itself to infinity; ultimately, it frees itself from any spatio-temporal reference and in this sense gains access to transcendence
Singly, Camille de. "Guido Molinari : peintre moderniste canadien." Paris 4, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001PA040183.
Full textThis thesis includes an essay and a catalogue of the complete works of the modernist painter Guido Molinari, born in Montreal in 1933. In the first volume, the manner in which Molinari defined himself as an artist within an ever-changing socio-political context is analysed, based on his work, a sizeable corpus of press documents, and numerous interviews with the painter, with curators, and with collectors. Montreal's Automatist movement, Op art and the art of the intimate, Canadian and Quebec nationalism, market logic, and state support : these are all currents with and against which Molinari sought to construct his artistic identity. The second volume contains the complete catalogues of his 1090 paintings, 21 sculptures, 110 prints, and 5 artist's books (each with historical notes, an exhibition list, and bibliographical references), as well as the complete list of exhibitions of his work
Pelard, Emmanuelle. "La poésie graphique : Christian Dotremont, Roland Giguère, Henri Michaux et Jérôme Peignot." Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040262.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to define a type of modern visual poetry (20th – 21st), that we called graphic poetry. The graphic poetry focuses on a plastic and visual experimentation of the graphic sign, demonstrates an important conscience of the visual potential of the written form and tries to produce poetry in the materiality of the writing shapes. The graphic poetry refers to a practice of poem which is specifically graphic and includes a painting of the sign as a typographic work of the letter in order to produce the poem. This artistic practice of poetry follows and also renews the poetic and plastic avant-gardes of the 20th century, more particularly surrealism. Christian Dotremont’s logograms, Roland Giguère’s artists’ books (Editions Erta) and prints-poems, Henri Michaux’s anthologies of invented painted signs and Jérôme Peignot’s typoems are some forms of graphic poetry. Our study focuses on francophone works, which come from Belgian, French and Quebec fields, published between 1950 and 2004. Three characteristics mainly define the graphic poetry : the ambiguity and the nomadism of the sign in relation to the semiotic systems (graphic, iconic and plastic), graphics rhythm and lyricism, as modalities of the expression of the subject in the graphic material, and a questioning of the distinction between autographic arts and allographic arts, requiring new ways of perception and reading of the poem and the book, that we called visual-reading and touch-reading

Aiosa-Poirier, Barbara. "Du pinceau à la plume : la peinture dans l'oeuvre d'Antonio Tabucchi." Thesis, Grenoble, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013GRENL010.
Full textThis Phd thesis aims to explore the relationship between the art of painting and the literary production of Antonio Tabucchi (1953-2012), one of the leading writers in Italian contemporary literature. This work aims to contribute to the understanding of Tabucchi's literary works, by providing a path for the eye and for the vision where the subjects of perception will be alternatively the writer, his characters and the reader. In this course which is structured in different successive stages and follows a continual back and forth between words and images, the verbal language is always the key. Painting is not only an object of study, but also the primary means of analysis and it allows to study and understand more closely the texts. This imaginary path is divided into three parts and each of them analyzes a different modality of the presence of painting in Antonio Tabucchi's works. The first part focuses on painted images appearing in the world of this writer. This section focuses on the references to the various possibilities of pictures' identification and on the place and functions they play within the text and in the understanding process. In this first phase of our study, a privileged place is left to the pictorial quote; we study its mode of being, its role and its function towards the reader. The second part takes into consideration the concept of pictorial allusion and particularly the ability to use words to see artworks and to evoke paintings despite the absence of any pictorial reference. In this part the difference between the visible and legible, between what we read and what we see is the principal hermeneutic key for any interpretation of the text.Finally, the third part shows how painting could be a model to read the text drawing the reader's attention to a problematic field of study. This one concerns the equivalences between literature and painting and generates some important theoretical issues. In this part, after a theoretical introduction, we will examine the similarities between different artists and we seek similar effects achieved by the writer and painter by means of their own arts. These three parts are linked by the methodology adopted and by the objectives pursued, but they are also autonomous because each of them highlights a different relationship between painting and literature revealing a distinct mode of transfer between the arts

Full text"The picture is the depiction, and the painting is the technique for shattering it" (Richter 1991). This thesis analyzes the dialectic between painting and images in Richter's work, not in terms of mediums but in its power to metaphorize the links between culture and nature, society and the individual, architecture and the body, etc. Gradually, it focuses on the idea and practice of overpainting [Übermalung]. A first part is devoted, from the GDR to the FRG, to the transition from a representation of social health to an "Augenklinik", an exploration of the artist's "average health", the impurity of images, whether hygienic, political or artistic, and of vision (1956-1967). A second part consists in two iconological studies of works that bring the body and vision closer to the structure of stairs by superimposition or juxtaposition: Ema (Nude on a Staircase) (1966) and Kugelobjekt (1969-1970). Repositioning this union in Western visual culture, particularly that of the 1960s, it points to Richter's research on the empowerment of painting, vision and the individual from any social setting. In this perspective, the little-known body of work of the overpainted photographs (1986; 1989-2016) is then presented. It is analyzed, based on the artist's words and writings, as a metaphor for the overcoming of art and culture in the context of the years 1986-1990: the "historians’s dispute", the ecological catastrophes and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Finally, based on new iconographic interpretations and unpublished source images, overpainting as a flow of history is studied around three dates: February 14, 1945, October 18, 1977, and September 11, 2011
MacAvock, Jane. "Jean Daret (1614-1668)." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA040228.
Full textA monographic study of the work of Jean Daret a painter, draughtsman, architect and printmaker born in Brussels who spent the major part of his career in Aix-en-Provence in the middle of the 17th century. This dissertation comprises two sections. The first is a biography of the artist which places him in the context of his time and social milieu. It includes a study of his financial activities and relations with his clients and colleagues, in particular Pierre Maurel de Pontevès, his patron in Provence and his cousin the Parisian printmaker Pierre Daret. The second section is devoted to a study of Daret’s oeuvre in the context of artistic developments in Aix, Paris, Italy and Flanders. The annexes include the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s paintings, drawings and prints in addition to transcriptions of unpublished archival documents
Kuperman, Ruth. "Le tournant du contemporain : les années 1950 et l'art." Paris, EHESS, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007EHES0114.
Full textThis study focuses on a group of transformations which affected the picture plane during the 1950s. Set out by the introduction of all kind of materials in the space traditionally reserved for painting, these transformations of wide impact claim to be situated as origin for the burst of new artistic manifestations in the 1960s. The analysis of these mutations - whose essential factors could be found in the work of the American artist Robert Rauschenberg - led us to a réévaluation of aesthetic categories from a contemporary point of view, which provided new instruments for the understanding of the work of art. The necessary historical account brought us back to the consolidation of the picture plane as an autonomous space for artistic expression and as a device for the image system, improved since Renaissance, which would be dismissed by the contemporary combine-painting through a radical shift in its relation to reality and to subjectivity
Reckford, David. "Des Cercles Concentriques : esthétique et poétique des New York Poets." Thesis, Paris 10, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA100043.
Full textThis study focusses on the poets of the New York School (« The New York Poets ») of the first generation (especially John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler, et Barbara Guest) and the second (especially Bill Berkson, Alice Notley, Ted Berrigan, Eileen Myles, Anne Waldman, Ron Padgett, et Joe Brainard) – taking into account the textual production of the poets (including poems, plays, novels, essays, poem-paintings, collages, etc.), and making a parallel study of the painting of the period, to help evoke the precise context and show relevant strands of inspiration. Works are discussed through three lenses : an idea of the evolution of art leading up to the present and particularly avant-garde artistic strategies, the influence of the social sphere including the relevance of the New York bohemia in the 1950s and 1960s, and all that conveys a sense political positioning with the desire for progress. Those three factors combine to create complexity in the texts
Ferrand, Nicolas-Xavier. "Bertrand Lavier et le rapport au réel." Thesis, Dijon, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014DIJOL016/document.
Full textThis study aims to establish how French artist Bertrand Lavier (1949) defines and expresses reality in his work. In addition, we wanted to provide a historical and critical answer to a key problematic of contemporary art's history, the link between art and life. First, we dealt with several Lavier's series, from the late 1960s till nowadays, from which emerge recurring topics : representation ontology, the problem of paintings and sculptures definition, which the artist employs himself to rebuilt. Furthermore, he also makes a methodical critic of language as a reliable component of reality, pointing its limits and flaws, acting his divorce with then dominant conceptual art, converting himself to the rematerilization of art, bringing back aesthetics, perception and instinct, after the reign of immateriality and intellectualism. Then, trying to contextualize his work, we established a detailed chronology of the artist's education, before confronting him with two 20th Century key figures, both having developed a strong vision of connections between art and reality, Duchamp and Warhol, in order to precise the historical place of Lavier's work regarding this topic. Eventually, we linked Lavier to two thinkings, Postmodernism and Nietzsche's philosophy, allowing us to shade light on his vision of a relative and fragmented reality, seen as amoral and subjective, and to explain the necessity of its aesthetical reorganization, presenting art as the remedy of a chaotic reality, and the everydays re-enchantement
Barbier, de Reulle Caroline. "Salvador Dalí et la musique." Thesis, Paris 4, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA040021.
Full textSalvador Dalí asserted time and again that he despised music. Nevertheless, references to this art in his work are omnipresent in various domains: painting, drawing, sculpture, cinema, ballet, happenings, photography, writings… The dissonance between the word and the work is at the heart of this thesis which attempts to define the role played by music in the creation of Dalí by opening up the disciplines, while replacing his approach within the context of surrealism and art history. This approach is linked to the personality of the artist: curious and open, he wished to express himself through all artistic means at his disposal. Styles and musical genres such as jazz, sardana, tango, sonata, opera, rock and electronic music inspired him. His representation of the musical, often associated with the comic, the erotic or the temporal, was atypical. Dalí regularly performed as a musician to correspond to the image of « genius » which he wished to convey and which masked an unsated desire. In the quest for « total artwork », he had the will to marry the tonal and the visual by unifying the arts, in his scenic works in particular, where the influence of Wagner reigned supreme. In 1974, he records his opera-poem Être Dieu in which he speaks and sings, accompanied by the music of Igor Wakhévitch. The analysis of this work, little studied to this day, offers a synthesis of the artist’s preferred themes. This thesis is based on public and private archives consulted in Europe and in the United States and reproduces sources and unpublished testimonies of musicians and personalities who were close to Salvador Dalí
Morin, Serge. "Jean-Philippe Dallaire (1916-1965) et l’art mural." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040058.
Full textJean-Philippe Dallaire (1916 - 1965) is recognised as one of the most talented Canadian painters of his generation. Guided by an exceptional aptitude and a fertile imagination, he produced numerous and varied paintings during a career that spanned over thirty years, almost half of which in France. Considered as self-taught by art historians and art critics, he nonetheless pursued a course of study that positioned him within the clearly defined tradition of the French School. An attentive study of the mural art works he accomplished shows the multiple influences he absorbed, but mainly the rigorous respect of the precepts he acquired from two great masters, Maurice Denis and André Lhote, and later from Jean Lurçat. But these constituents, although they link him to his French genesis, never lessened the originality of his style. If his first religious murals are strongly tainted by the spiritual environment in which he gravitated, his mural art, religious or profane, following his return from France after the war, demonstrate a scrupulous respect of the features that identify masterpiece
