Abstract

"Blue has had a long and topsy-turvy history in the Western world. Once considered a hot color, it is now icy cool. The ancient Greeks scorned it as ugly and barbaric, but most Americans and Europeans now pick it as their favorite color. In this history, the renowned medievalist Michel Pastoureau traces the changing meanings of blue from its rare appearances in prehistoric art to its international ubiquity today in blue jeans and Gauloises cigarette packs." "Pastoureau investigates how the ever-changing role of blue in society has been reflected in manuscripts, stained glass, heraldry, clothing, paintings, and popular culture. Beginning with the almost total absence of blue from ancient Western art and language, the story moves to medieval Europe. As people began to associate blue with the Virgin Mary, the color became a powerful element in church decoration and symbolism, despite the resistance of chromophobic prelates. Blue gained new favor as a royal color in the twelfth century and became a formidable political and military force through the French Revolution. As blue triumphed in the modern era, new shades were created and blue became the color of romance, the Romantics, and the blues. Finally, Pastoureau follows blue into contemporary times, when military clothing gave way to the everyday uniform of blue jeans and blue became the universal and unifying color of the Earth as seen from space." "With an elegant design and illustrated with nearly one hundred color plates, Blue tells the history of our favorite color and the cultures that have hated it, loved it, and created great art with it."--Jacket.

Abstract

The interaction between color and architecture determines our perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design and communication means which, however, are often not fully used color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its interaction with structure, light, and geometry.

Abstract

Roberto Casati and Patrick Cavanagh examine how the perception of shadows, as studied by vision scientists and visual artists, reveals the inner workings of the visual system. Shadows are at once a massive problem for vision--which must distinguish them from objects or material features of objects--and a resource, signaling the presence, location, shape, and size of objects. Casati and Cavanagh draw up an inventory of information retrievable from shadows, showing their amazing variety. They present an overview of the visual system, distinguishing between measurement and inference. They discuss the shadow mission, the work done by the visual brain to parse, and perhaps discard, the information from shadows; shadow ownership, the association of a shadow with the object that casts it; shadow labeling, the visual system's ability to tell shadows from nonshadows; and the shadow concept, our knowledge about shadows as a category. Casati and Cavanagh then apply the theoretical apparatus they have developed for shadows to other phenomena: illumination, reflection, and transparency. Finally, they examine the art of the shadow, paying tribute to artists’ exploration of shadow, analyzing a series of artworks (reproduced in color) from a rich and fascinating art historical corpus.

Abstract

Aujourd'hui, alors que le cinéma, porté par la révolution numérique, migre des salles de cinéma vers les espaces d'exposition, il devient possible, sinon nécessaire, de reconsidérer son histoire d'un point de vue élargi (et de renouer ainsi avec sa préhistoire), dans ses interactions et ses prolongements avec l'ensemble des arts visuels et plastiques - c'est-à-dire de repenser le cinéma du point de vue de l'histoire de l'art et dans le cadre histoire générale des représentations, et non plus simplement du point de vue restreint de l'histoire du cinéma.

Abstract

L’exposition montre comment, de Calder à Kapoor, de nombreux artistes ont traité les notions de vision, d’espace, de lumière et de mouvement dans leurs œuvres, en réalisant souvent des installations dans lesquelles le visiteur est partie prenante : les atmosphères chromatiques et changeantes d’Ann Veronica Janssens, les miroirs kaléidoscopiques de Jeppe Hein ou les réalisations in situ de Felice Varini.
