Full textCette étude prend pour objet la pratique sculpturale de l’artiste québécois David Altmejd, né en 1974. Aménageant des paysages bigarrés s’articulant autour de la rencontre d’une affluence d’objets, de matériaux hétéroclites et personnages étranges, Altmejd conçoit ses sculptures comme de petits mondes à part qui toujours semblent traversés par une énergie transformatrice. L’enjeu de cette recherche est de mettre en lumière les stratégies formelles et conceptuelles par lesquelles l’artiste réinterroge la notion classique de la métamorphose. Par l’analyse des œuvres et du discours de l’artiste, le tout tenant compte de l’expérience du spectateur, cette étude veut montrer comment David Altmejd s’approprie et reformule cette notion de métamorphose dans un langage qui lui est propre. Propice aux échanges et aux communications contre-nature, ce langage permet, selon-nous, de remettre en question certains codes par lesquels nous appréhendons et définissons le mouvement, voire, le monde en mouvement.
This study investigates the sculptural practice of David Altmejd, an artist from Québec born in 1974. Setting up mixed landscapes, in which are blended numerous objects, heterogeneous materials and strange characters, Altmejd creates sculptures as if they were small worlds in themselves, expressing their own transformative energy. We will seek to unveil the formal and conceptual strategies that the artist uses to re-examine the classical notion of metamorphosis. Taking into consideration the experience of the spectator, we will analyse David Altmejd’s work and speech in order to demonstrate how he manages to grasp and reformulate the notion of metamorphosis using a language of his own: permeable to exchanges and communications that go beyond our natural way of seeing things, a language that enables him to challenge some of the codes traditionally used to apprehend and define movement, and, extensively, the world itself.

Full textThrough a discussion of the five main theoretical domains that influence my art-making; biophilia, ecofeminism, foraging (recuperation), non-duality and sacred space, I explore the synergistic relations between my socio-ecological-political reflections and my art practice. I am interested in the intersections between activism and art, engagement and transformation, and the idea that art can be seen as a “social sculpture” to borrow from Beuys. Continually seeking alternative realities from the polarizing forces that dominate our (my) contemporary world-view and questioning the culture - nature divide, my text chronicles the connectivity between my art projects and my theoretical research, finally understanding the relationship between the two as fundamental to my creative process. The concept of the threshold is paramount, proposed as a meeting place or juncture between binary worlds; the intimate and the public, the secular and thesacred, culture and nature.

Full textThis thesis is approached through the prism of my own practice of sculpture. My sculpture is positioned through soft materials in a perspective of proven experience in undergoing the same constraints as my own body, which also seeks balance and position. Under the auspices of the dialectic of lightness and heaviness, I reinvested in my theoretical discourse gestures and directions as the center of my own artistic work through terms and concepts that are familiar to me. These concepts are experienced through a selected history of the sculpture of the twentieth century. I perceive a community of attitude, gestures and choices to form the aim of its presence in space and time. In the first part, the problem of the mind-body dichotomy is approached through a path between the sculpture, the look and the speech carried on it. On the second part, I address the issue of presence against that of representation by analyzing the question of repetition as well as the work that reflects the choice to let go or let the proper behavior of the material be. These actions which involve a dispossession sometimes tend to describe what it is to hold on and to resist. This paradox opens the third part in which the process of implementing and updating the presentation of the work is questioned. Finally, in order to identify the conditions of the phenomenological experience specific to the sculpture, the work of this thesis concludes with the study of the concept of presence in the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty. This thesis conceives the creation of the sculpture and its perception as a bundle of "trajectories of gravities" [Krauss, 1994]

Varia, Radu. "Brancusi : une recherche du spirituel dans l'art du XXe siècle." Paris, EHESS, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989EHES0335.
Full textConstantin brancusi, the greatest sculptor of modern times, was born at the very centre of the landspace between the carpathian mountains and the danube. A repository of europe's most ancient civilisations, this is an environment particularly conducive to vivid awareness of the values of the archaic consciousness, perpetuated through primary, primeval forms, unmodified by time, remaining contemporaneous with its own eternity. Each time a genius brings out the archaic structure in a work that resuscitates and revitalises it, the work itself becomes contemporaneous with its origins. Brancusi would recreate the monumentality, the same urge for lastigness, the same radiant purity of primary forms that characterised the sacred sculpture and architecture of ancient egypt. Egyptian in its form, hinu its spiritual quest (the sculptor's favorite reading was the jetsun kahbum, with its teachings of the elventh century tibetan monk milarepa), brancusi's art also exudes the full force of its celtic inspiration. This study, based largely on documents which are revealed here for the first time, seeks to analyse and clarify these various aspects of the spiritual approach in brancusi's work, considered from the formal, mystical and mathematical angles
Daniel, Marion. "La poésie critique : écrits de poètes sur les peintres et les sculpteurs (1945-1990)." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA040212.
Full textBetween 1945 and 1990, the writings of poets on art as well as illustrated books increase, inaugurating a form of unprecedented affinity between poets and artists. In the 1950s, lyrical abstraction dominated, as well as the last equally influential elements of Surrealism. These constitute the principal currents of painting on which poets write commentaries. Through the two-fold questioning of reality and of man's place in it which they posit, these two categories of painting diverge greatly in their discourse. Starting with the works of René Char, Francis Ponge, Jean Tardieu, Henri Michaux, Michel Leiris, grouped around the criticism of the galerie Maeght and the Cahiers d’art (Notebooks of art), but also of Louis Aragon, Jean Genet, Samuel Beckett, as well as Yves Bonnefoy, André du Bouchet, Philippe Jaccottet, and Jacques Dupin, who write principally in the magazine L'Éphémère, an aesthetics of critical poetry becomes more and more defined. In face of criticism inspired by Baudelaire, founded on the principle of correspondances, according to which a poem is susceptible to produce the equivalent of a painting, critical poetry inspired by Mallarmé and his aesthetics of suggestion tries to aim at the creation of a new literary space. If the task of poetry is to respond to a "desire of images", to write about painting is to succeed in describing sensations and visions produced by works of art. These two elements are what constitute the major interest in these critical texts of poets
Rod, Françoise. "Une recherche plastique expérimentale, vers une perception élargie." Paris 8, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA080797.
Full textThis theoretical and practical thesis concerns the place and function, in the universe of the human being in general and the artist in particular. The analysis of my key works (created between 1981 and 1992) suggest the answers. The perceptive attitude of the artist that originates from the work will define the perceptive attitude that the viewer will adopt towards it. The evolution of these two attitudes is parallel, and is examined by phenomenological methods. During this work the visual perception of nature transforms itself into an interior corporal perception. In other words, the relation between subject and object develops into a correlation between the perceiving subject and the perceived subject. This attempt of unification inside the subject (artist) becomes equally effective inside the viewer when he adheres and complies with the symbolic transfer to which the sculptures invite. The active and symbolic participation of the viewer is compared to the one that exists in art that has magic and or therapeutic characteristics. This operational character of the work of art can be discovered within the contradictions and interrogations of contemporary art. This possible interaction between art and life once again questions the function of art and actualizes the links existing between ethics and esthetics

Full textFrom the end of the culture revolution to today, the Chinese contemporary art has gone through a process of thirty years. During these thirty years, the Chinese society has undergone a big change. In the process of the Chinese contemporary art, the “body” has undoubtedly played an important role. If we say that art is a bridge between the artist’s life and the society, the “body” is an important bridge pier. From the body’s viewpoint, we can find the logic of Chinese contemporary art’s development and understand how the Chinese artists integrated their work into the social space. In this thesis, we have studied the most important phenomenon of body in the Chinese contemporary art. They include the “sacrificed body”, the “parody body”, the “metamorphosis body”, the “metaphor body” and the “intermediality of body”. At last, we have also described our own art works about the “body”

Full text“Shadow sculptures” are works of art where artists use projected shadows as a material. All works are composed with a basic projection device, and comprised of at least, a light source, a screen and an object. The shadow-pictures, still or moving, appear by the object’s interception of light. Since the 80’s, projected shadows have multiplied in sculpture. In addition, artists use them to enhance their picture quality. Inspired by the works from the beginning of the 20th century (such as László Moholy-Nagy’s Light-Space Modulator (1922-1930)), shadow sculptures stand between photography, cinema and sculpture, between sculpture and picture and between sculpture and projection. They use their technical vocabulary and their vision modality. This specificity distinguishes shadow sculptures from sculptures in the past few decades that preferred the sensorial quality of light and shadows. It also gives the opportunity to question the medium sculpture, which has been constantly (re-)defined since the late 60’s. Lastly, this specificity of shadow sculptures positions them in the context of the 80’s that they question and reflect. Artwork analyses, the definition of the medium sculpture, the study of the historical period beginning in the 80’s and the exploration of the shadows’ polysemy are the four principal elements investigated in the following PhD. They all participate to define shadow sculptures as a singular medium
Charvet, Célia. "Sculpter l'habitat : les dimensions de l'habiter dans la sculpture contemporaine." Besançon, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010BESA1010.
Full textThinking about "inhabiting" from the viewpoint of contemporary art – contemporary sculpture, to be precise – means engaging in an analysis of three-dimensional forms, and thus looking at inhabiting in its visible, tangible dimensions, in a concrete instantiation of its implications, and crystallising the concepts of body, space and time. Giving form(s) to inhabiting does not only mean elucidating the phenomena associated with it, but also generating its spatio-temporal dimensions on the scale of human existence. It means structuring, orientating, qualifying the multiple relationships between individuals and their different places of existence, whether in the private or the public sphere. It means looking at inhabiting as an act – and an act of resistance – rather than simply a fact. It means, finally, defining territories of inhabiting, where the different parts of space-time induce the inhabitance of human beings, in other words their potentiality to inhabit. Starting with works by sculptors of inhabiting (this being the generic term we will use to define those whose work we discuss), the aim is to identify that which fashions, reveals and probes the dimensions of inhabiting. Centred on four aspects of space-time that define the nature of these dimensions, the analysis brings out the sculptural specificities of inhabiting, and its consequences in the field of existence. In this respect, besides constituting a point of departure for an analysis of inhabiting, art can provide a way of reassessing commonly-held definitions. The dichotomy between private and public is called into question by these works, which syncretise essential and existential elements. The human scale determines the dimensions of sculpture, not only physically but also symbolically and ideologically, in that it is dictated by the body – that of the artist, that of the viewer – and by the wall qua referent and point of articulation between body and architecture. But beyond the body, and beyond categories, it is the individual who is in question(s); and particularly the individual's innermost being. The spacings reserved by the wall for the body, and by the work for the individual, express the different significances of inhabiting, which have more to do with haunting than with inhabiting. In the end, sculpting inhabiting does not just mean giving it visibility or corporality, but also resisting, so as to assert its singularities, confer sense on existence and remain aware that inhabiting combines identity and dignity
Beaulieux, Marc. "Philippe Hiquily : des années soixante à nos jours." Paris 1, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA010567.
Full textPhilippe Hiquily (born 1925) enter the army 1945. After being wounded and ill in Indo-China, he is demobilized 1948. He enter at the beaux-arts in paris where he dicovers metal sculpture in 1953. He hammers in iron some figurines with exagerated and sharped forms since 1957. His work remains based on this principles and also on the human figure without giving up abstract searches. Humour and mockery are constant. Since 1954, a found object is combined into a sculpture. Hiquily still uses this type of "collage". He also has insert mechanist preoccupations, movement researchs and various bases in his work which place him in the middle of the Paris- Ian vanguard. Hiquily has support the influence of african art, Gonzalez and Germaine Richier (met through Robert Müller). She will oppen him the doors of the salon de mai and introduce him Alain Jouffroy (still his best biographer). Jouffroy will show the three centers of the Hiquilyan production: erotism, humour, movement. Hiquily produces only unique works in iron and in brass since the second part of the 60's. The following years he will enlarge his production with monumental pieces in steel and some"design" objects all realized in brass. During the 80's, patrice Trigano push him to produce bronzes edited by bocquel which touch a different public. Hiquily has produced series of works, rarely knowingly, but little by little and corresponding beyond the time. His work remains experimental and every work is first designed on paper. This study is completed with long interviews, a critical compilation, a very complete bibliography, some indexes and a register for the hiquilyan works, a short biography, a list of the private and public collections with hiquilyan objects and a chapter about the auctions sales since 15 years, and a big catalogue of selected works (all described, reproduced and analysed)

Full textTo understand and explain the malaise that exists regarding the teaching of poetry in high schools, the thesis goes back to the Rapport Parent (1963–1966), a seminal document that forms the basis of modern Quebec school, and to the creation of the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec (1964) to follow, through the documents, the history of high school poetry teaching of the last 50 years. This period is divided in three main parts : a revolution in education marked by the publication of the Rapport Parent and two programs; the return to basics initiated by L'école québécoise with two programs and two series of textbooks; the reform based on L'école, tout un programme of which the programs and textbooks are currently in use. Through these three types of documents, guidance documents, curricula and textbooks, that we will recall the evolution of poetry teaching in High School in relation to the main trends that marked education and French teaching in Quebec since the 1960s. Poetry teaching cannot be separated from the context within which it is made. This context includes many facets some of which internal and others, external. In this thesis, external facets consist of the vision of culture and teaching as well as the importance given to the literature and poetry. The concept of culture evolved quite a lot in the last 50 years. The Rapport Parent abandoned the traditional notion of culture for a larger one that includes all human activities. This interpretation, although nuanced and updated, will remain the standard. Literature which held a predominant position in traditional culture thus loses its influence. Its importance, despite still being valued in some spheres, will diminish until it becomes a simple tool in teaching language techniques and types of texts. The evolution of education will transform the traditional classroom well ordered under the master's authority in a place where the student is allowed to build his own knowledge. Elements that are directly linked to poetry teaching include curricula, textbooks, the teaching of reading and writing and the work done by both teacher and student. Programs will go through important modifications. 1969 framework program marks the end of literature oriented curricula. Since then, the programs only real goal is to perfect the comprehension of the technical aspects of language. 1980's program sees the end of literary genres as the basis of the teaching of texts in favour of the discourse notion. As poetic discourse is not mentioned, poetry struggles to find its place. 1995 and reform programs focus on the types of texts instead of discourse, but poetry is not part of this typology. The place of poetry in reading and writing varies through the years. Equal to other types of texts in the framework program, it only appears in the 1980's program for reading. Following programs will give it a place in writing. Since 1980, it is mainly a marginal genre which is simply used to illustrate useful notions for discourse or types of text in the program. The teacher/student relationship changed enormously during this period. From master, the teacher became a guide and mediator. The student follows the opposite path : from a passive receiver, he becomes responsible for building his own knowledge. Because of the small place of poetry in the programs and the fact that it is not part of the official typology of texts in the programs, the teacher has to rely only on his own knowledge of poetry to ensure a viable teaching. Textbooks accompany the programs with the exception of the framework program. Since 1980, the French-language textbooks aim toward self-learning because they address the student directly. They present themselves as class preparations that the student simply has to follow to acquire the knowledge required by the program. The place they give to poetry in reading and writing varies depending on the period and the textbook.

Full textAround 1900, in the field of sculpture, the desire for a new formal universe is urgent. Sculptors strive to fine the laws of their art. During the 1890s, a new generation of sculptors appears. Most of them work closely with Rodin, but all try to define themselves in relation to him. This generation includes artists such as Bourdelle, Maillol, Bartholomé, Joseph Bernard, but also numerous sculptors from different countries, who show, with their respective personalities, convergent concerns. Gonzalez arrived in Paris in 1899, Brancusi and Nademan moved there in 1904, Gargallo made a trip 1903-1904. In 1900, Hoetger settled in Paris where he remained until 1907, Archipenko arrived in 1908. Lehmbruck lived and worked there between 1910 and 1910… Paris is not only the place where Rodin shines, attracts young sculptors and causes them to respond. It is also a melting pot which promotes exchanges of points of view in the field of arts and ideas. Sculpture does not remain an isolated world, and aesthetic debates concern its independence from the paint, its autonomous universe, its attraction to archaism and primitivism. New philosophical ideas grow in sculpture society. Bergson, William James, Nietzsche and Simmel use new concepts as intuition, mobility and suggestion, which substitute others like ratio, permanency and naturalistic representation: these philosophers become references that animate debates and fertilize the visual arts

Full textThis research aims to analyse the effect that Rodin's oeuvre had on the Italian artistic and cultural milieu between the two aforesaid centuries. We shall examine the channels through which a foreign artist was assimilated into the Italian artistic tradition, the relationships between the dealings and opinions of art lovers or connoisseurs, as well as investigating interrelations among the history of art, politics and society. The first part will cover Rodin's participation in the principal art exhibitions in Italy. This excursus will allow us to follow the development of knowledge of the artist's ouevre in Italy as well as the evolution of its assessment on the part of critics. This section will also cover the vicissitudes of Rodin's collectors, both private and public. The second part will concentrate on the interpretation of Rodin's work by three leading Italian critics of the day: Giovanni Cena, Vittorio Pica and Ugo Ojetti. All three, though moving in different spheres and each with his own stance, were vital to the dissemination of the French sculptor's work in Italy. We shall also tackle the fundamental rôle played by the artist himself in perfecting a "communication strategy" with regard to his own work. The study of relations between Rodin and the Italian media will lie behind this. We shall therefore examine the different means which were implemented in the creation of the "Rodin myth". The third and last part is to be considered a kind of observatory of the course and outcome of the passion for Rodin in Italy after the sculptor's death and up to the start of the 1930s
Gilles, Maryvonne. "Henry Moore, une traversée du siècle." Paris 10, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA100019.
Full textHenry Moore dominates the development of English sculpture in the twentieth century. This study bears on what made such an exceptional success possible. Taking up where the avant-gardes had left in the first two decades of the century, Moore contributed to the modernist experiments of the thirties. During the Second World War and the period of the reconstruction, his form of moderate modernism became the norm. As an official artist, he renewed the art of the public monument by combining the influences of primitive art with those of classical Greece. During the Cold War era, Moore's art of reconciliation was made to serve British interests abroad. As the British Council turned him into Britain's best cultural ambassador, his work became tied to the issue of national identity, and how to define and express the values on which British post-war society was being rebuilt. This raises the question of the link between the work of art and history, and how politics is expressed through art. The end of Moore's career was marked by commercial success on an exceptional scale, while the return to organic abstraction reduced the complexity of his vision. The changes and displacements in his work reflect life's ebb and flow, the pressure of the political and social context, the impact of critical discourse and the evolution in the forms of support and promotion of art

The purpose is to connect the different definitions of the object made by the art of the twentieth century (the ready-made, the surrealistic object, the mythical object, the archeological object) with the own practice of the author (description and analysis of different works of art) defined in the conclusion as a post-modern crossing between different styles

Full textFrom 1966, César fairly divided his "love of the material" between plastic, first exploited with his Empreintes, and the metallic element that is at the origins of the practice used with Fers and Compressions. Constantly questioning different sources, this study of César's first two artistic claims for identity recognition tackles the question of a prehistory to his welded work. It implies the knowledge of the sculptor personal evolution from the 1930s and his relationship with the cultural life of Paris in the 1940s and 1950s. This work of research deals with numerous technical, iconographic, stylistic and aesthetic questions ans aspects. Our analysis of those aspects enables us to explain the early success of his Fers partly due to a sociological interpretation that will essentially have a stong impact on the perception of artefact Compressions. After a short introduction of the origins of this artistic deed and its technical, formal and contextual implications, our study competes with this approach that is determined by the sociological doctrine established by Pierre Restany to describe the activity of the Nouveau Réaliste group (1960-1963) to which César belonged. On the verge of art history, this work also deals with the French reception of Compressions. It thus questions César's image and his sentences for "dishonest compromise" (by society, by the media. . . ) that still delay a national and institutional recognition as well as the possibility to situate a major contribution to sculpture in its historical perspective

Full textAmerica stands as a privileged reference in Quebec's poetry today. Dislodging the poetry of the earth and nationalistic-sounding rhetoric, a new American poetry arises with the eighties. It valorises the themes of the city, a cosmopolitan and playful space as well as that of the transcontinental journey. A place of diversity, but also, of violence and solitude, it is the expression of multiculturalism and of the melting-pot. It is mainly defined by its belonging to the North-American continent. The Quebec poet crosses metropolises like Montreal, New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco, in order to account for the changes in the reference of Americanism and in 20th century modernity. Other cities, from Europe or other places, enhance this poetic imaginary. Although written in French, the Quebec poetry of the eighties assimilates the experience of the Beat Generation (Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs) and of the American underground. The importance granted to Americanism is motivated by US cultural references to cinema, to literature, to jazz and rock'n'roll. Quebec poetry of the eighties nevertheless retrieves intimacy, by " small islands " in " liveable " places, with Louise Dupré, Hélène Dorion, Jacques Brault et François Charron

Full textThis thesis is founded on the methodical exploitation of the local and national archives. It leads both to rehabilitate the situation of department's arts (architecture and sculpture) by synthesis's subjects, and supply an detailed analysis by means of notices on encountered studied artists (tow hundred and ten, on the total). Just as it is presened, this study would be used as manual reference giving an useful and precise compulsation, with the indication of the sources. During the development, supplementary orientations have been revealed : on the one side : the administrative, political, social and economic life of the retained jurisdiction; on the other side, the practise of the tow professions by tha way of an historic concerning each job, architectural and sculpturalprogrammes, which lead to a thematic analysis quite diversified. The interest of this work consists in the fact that it enbabled to present noy very well-known artists. It's this under this not currently used aspect that its originality is summed up

Full textRobert Couturier is a French sculptor. He began to work at the beginning of the twenties, in Paris, and was Maillol's student. Soon, he became very famous receiving many commissioned works. After the Second World War, he became one of the artists of the movement called “miserabilism”. Interested in figurative subject, he contributed with Germaine Richier and Alberto Giacometti to give a new interpretation of the human figure. Forms became more interpretative than representative and material reduced, aggressive and exacerbated. Robert couturier's sculptures catalogue includes 450 numbers showing the important production of the artist between 1923 and 1997. An analytic and critic text goes with the catalogue proposing a chronological and thematic approach. It's the first time that an university research has been made on couturier's work showing the influence he had on post second world war figurative sculpture

Full textThis thesis is dedicated to the sculptor Paul Landowski ( 1875-1961 ) and to the establishing of the critical catalogue of his sculptural works. It includes 3 tomes. The first tome starts by an introduction which evokes the principles having conduced to the elaboration of this study : Landowski's symbolic position in this first half of century where he is so fond of the academical tradition, and his position in the present rediscovery of the figuration of "thirties". Then a biographical notice places Landowski in his time : formation, official offices, relations, political choices. . . At last, a critical study puts Landowski in the artistic context of his time: definition of his style, influences, comparative studies. The catalogue of his works (550 numbers) ends this tome. The second tome is devoted to the record of supplementary pieces: official documents, mail (476 pieces). Third tome is used for the photographic documents (542 reproductions)

Full textThis thesis is on plastic arts. It questions a personal artistic work which uses different media (painting, sculpture, object, photography. . . ) and which belongs to the form of art most often called installation. Its generic title is le monde est tout ce qui arrive (named lmetcqa for short), referring to the first proposition of the tractatus logico-philosophicus of ludwig wittgenstein. This work has been going on for several years, taking the form of a "work in progress". However, the thesis itself is the study of a sequence lasting only a few months which is made up of 10 stages. The principle is that each installation grows richer than the precedent through the addition of new elements at the same time as some other elements transmit from one installation to the next, taking on different functions and spatial positions. The constitutive elements come from extracting operations out the real or from previous personal works which apply in the new context. This thesis analyses the technical, conceptual, linguistic bindind modes which link the different constituents of the elements, the elements in relation to one another as well as the installative stages (in relation to one another), taking inspiration from certain representative works of art selected from the history of 20th century western sculpture, and more particularly from those which were not conceived in a monolithic way

Full textPar l’étude de la question du support dans la sculpture de Constantin Brancusi (1876 1957), sculpteur moderne qui a révolutionné l’art par ses innovations, nous tentons de définir le cadre conceptuel du support et son statut, par rapport aux diverses expérimentations de l’artiste. L’analyse sera développée afin de déterminer en quoi le support de Brancusi, par rapport aux innovations qui le caractérisent, se démarque du modèle traditionnel. Entre 1907 et 1937, l’artiste entreprend des expérimentations sur le support : d’abord, il l’élimine, ensuite, il l’intègre et finalement, il lui donne en quelque sorte le statut d’œuvre. C’est par une analyse détaillée de trois œuvres : Le Baiser, Maïastra et L’Ensemble monumental de Târgu-Jiu que nous étudierons l’évolution du support. Cela déterminera si les conventions sur la présentation sculpturale seront brisées.

Full textAfter the historic reconstitution of the diffusion of surrealism in Brazil, from early begining to today, and through a comparative analysis, we pretend to show the contribution of surrealism as an element of the belonging of art in Brazil to modernity. For this purpose we confront poetry effects, imaginary and formal effects : different space notions, erotic plethoras, parodic relations, correspondances of tropes in art and formalisation of an esthetic thinking. We particulary analysed the antecedents close to surrealism : a certain brazilian symbolism, the painting of Tarsila Do Amaral, Vicente do Rego Monteiro, Ismael Nery, Flavio de Carvalho, Cicero Dias, Antonio Bento, Wesley Duke Lee, Jef Golyscheff, Octavio Araujo, the collage of Serfio Lima et Tereza d'Amico and the sculpture of Maria Martins. We determine the relations between the effects of this art with essentialist poetry and the young surrealist poetry of the sixties in Sao Paulo
