De Tiepolo à Picasso, de Péguy à Houellebecq en passant par Bernanos, Jésus est sans conteste l’une des figures qui a le plus inspiré les artistes depuis le Ve siècle. De Fra Angelico à Pablo Picasso, de Charles Péguy à Michel Houellebecq en passant par Georges Bernanos, Jésus est sans conteste l’une des figures qui a le plus inspiré les artistes depuis le IIIe siècle. Jésus de Nazareth, par sa vie et son message, a fortement imprégné l’art occidental de toutes les époques. Dans ce livre richement illustré, Pierre-Marie Varennes analyse une sélection iconographique souvent inattendue de près de cent œuvres d’art, en les confrontant à des passages de la Bible et à des extraits de grands textes littéraires. Il donne à voir l’extraordinaire variété des interprétations esthétiques qui ont été faites de la vie de Jésus et de l'enseignement de ce prédicateur, depuis l’art paléochrétien jusqu’à l’art moderne. Au travers d’œuvres aussi diverses que La Main de Dieu d’Auguste Rodin, La Résurrection de Lazare de Rembrandt ou le « Dieu caché » de Blaise Pascal, l’auteur met en lumière la puissance évocatrice de la figure de Jésus, qui pour les chrétiens est le « Christ de Dieu ».

One of the most influential conceptual artists of her generation, Gillian Wearing first gained recognition in the 1990s for groundbreaking photographs and videos that recorded the confessions and interactions of ordinary people she befriended through chance encounters. In its candor and psychological intensity, her work extends the traditions of portraiture initiated by Sander, Weegee and Arbus. Yet in her ongoing attention to technology's role in the presentation of self, Wearing has presciently identified defining aspects of contemporary visual culture, from reality television to the rise of the selfie. Published for Wearing's first North American retrospective, Gillian Wearing: Wearing Masks traces the acclaimed artist's practice from her earliest Polaroids and videos to her most recent production, including large-scale photographic self- portraits of Wearing in the guise of other artists; a more intimate body of self-portraits titled Lockdown; and installations and commissioned public sculpture. Essays by co-curators Jennifer Blessing and Nat Trotman provide an overview of Wearing's oeuvre, and a "self-interview" by Wearing offers a revealing firsthand account of the artist's practice, including her ongoing project Your Views (2013- ), in which she has recently responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, and her exploration of AI technology in the video work Wearing, Gillian (2018). Gillian Wearing (born 1963) became associated with the Young British Artists (YBAs) after graduating from Goldsmiths College in 1990, and went on to win the Turner Prize in 1997. She works equally in photography, video, sculpture, installation and, most recently, painting. Wearing became well known early on for her now-landmark piece Signs that say what you want them to say and not Signs that say what someone else wants you to say (1992-93), for which she photographed almost 200 strangers with placards of their own making".

Throughout history, presidents have actively participated in all aspects of photography, not only by sitting for photos but by taking and consuming them. Cara A. Finnegan ventures from a newly-discovered daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams to Barack Obama's selfies to tell the stories of how presidents have participated in the medium's transformative moments. As she shows, technological developments not only changed photography, but introduced new visual values that influence how we judge an image. At the same time, presidential photographs - as representations of leaders who symbolised the nation - sparked public debate on these values and their implications. An original journey through political history, 'Photographic Presidents' reveals the intertwined evolution of an American institution and a medium that continues to define it.
