Abstract

A bold reappraisal of Land art through the pioneering work of 12 women sculptors. Using materials such as earth, wind, water, fire, wood, salt, rocks, mirrors and explosives, American artists of the 1960s began to move beyond the white cube gallery space to work directly in the land. With ties to Minimal and Conceptual art, these artists placed less emphasis on the discrete object and turned their attention to the experience of the artwork-however fleeting or permanent that might be-foregrounding natural materials and the site itself to create large-scale works located outside of typical urban art-world circuits. Histories of Land art have long been dominated by men, but Groundswell: Women of Land Art shifts that focus to shed new light on the vast number of earthworks by women artists. While their careers ran parallel to those of their better-known male counterparts, they have received less recognition and representation in museum presentations-until now. This book includes five scholarly essays, as well as a detailed chronology, exhibition checklist and illustrated biographies of exhibition artists. Groundswell is a resource for readers interested in understanding the historical Land art movement and our own relationship to the earth. Artists include: Lita Albuquerque, Alice Aycock, Beverly Buchanan, Agnes Denes, Maren Hassinger, Nancy Holt, Patricia Johanson, Ana Mendieta, Mary Miss, Jody Pinto, Michelle Stuart and Meg Webster.

Abstract

L'art a, de manière très spectaculaire, dépeint et décrit depuis deux siècles et demi les forces qui dépassent (et déclassent) l'être humain. Non plus les forces invisibles du divin mais les soulèvements de la nature, l'immensité du temps et de l'espace, les conséquences incontrôlables des avancées scientifiques sur le vivant.Oui, de nombreux artistes - et parmi les plus géniaux, de Turner à Pierre Huyghe et de Claude Monet à Stanley Kubrick - ont montré comment l'homme a senti lui échapper son sentiment de centralité dans le cosmos ; ils ont représenté cette crise essentielle en relativisant sa présence d'une part et en exprimant, d'autre part, les mystères enchantés ou les menaces cauchemardesque de l'univers dans lequel il se meut.Aussi ce livre, qui privilégie la peinture mais fraie aussi du côté de la sculpture ou du cinéma, donne-t-il à voir et comprendre des paysages édéniques et vierges, des beautés végétales et animales, la furie mortifère des éléments, le fantasme d'une civilisation complètement mécanisée, le saut dans l'abstraction, l'âme des choses ou encore l'anticipation de l'Apocalypse...En suivant un parcours chronologique de 1755 à nos jours, il raconte, de manière très accessibles les grands événements historiques (le séisme de Lisbonne, la bombe atomique, etc.), scientifiques (les découvertes de Darwin, la conquête spatiale), personnels (les drames de l'enfance de Friedrich, la crise mystique de De Chirico) qui ont conduit des artistes à montrer ce qu'est, selon la magnifique expression de Baudelaire, « l'univers sans l'homme ».

Abstract

Best known for his atmospheric landscapes featuring contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies and morning mists, Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) came of age alongside a German Romantic philosophical movement that saw nature as an organic and interconnected whole. The naturalists in his circle believed that observations about the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms could lead to conclusions about human life. Many of Friedrich’s often-overlooked later paintings reflect his engagement with these philosophical ideas through a focus on isolated shrubs, trees, and rocks. Others revisit earlier compositions or iconographic motifs but subtly metamorphose the previously distinct human figures into the natural landscape. In this revelatory book, Nina Amstutz combines fresh visual analysis with broad interdisciplinary research to investigate the intersection of landscape painting, self-exploration, and the life sciences in Friedrich’s mature work. Drawing connections between the artist’s anthropomorphic landscape forms and contemporary discussions of biology, anatomy, morphology, death, and decomposition, Amstutz brings Friedrich’s work into the larger discourse surrounding art, nature, and life in the 19th century

Abstract

Cet ouvrage constitue la première monographie importante consacrée à l'oeuvre de Giuseppe Penone, l'un des représentants les plus remarquables de l'Arte povera. Outre la beauté des formes et des matériaux, son travail de sculpteur se caractérise par la force des interrogations qu'il suscite sur la nature et sur l'homme. L'artiste révèle le rythme présent au coeur du cycle naturel de la vie, et l'empreinte du temps sur les êtres et les choses.
