Résumé : In 1965, British artist John Jones left the UK with his young family to live in the USA. There they settled in Greenwich Village, New York, and spent several months on a road trip west, seeking out artists and interviewing as many as they could. All revealed something unique about their work and practice. Many spoke of the times they were living in – 1960s America, a political and cultural crucible. Some (Claes Oldenburg and Yoko Ono, for instance) became Jones’s personal friends. Published here for the first time, this book presents a fascinating selection of Jones’s conversations with those artists, as chosen by his daughter, Nicolette. This is the story of art presented not through the filter of art critics, but from the mouths of the practitioners. Featuring an array of wellknown voices, including Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner, Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, The American Art Tapes offers an intimate portrait of the American art scene in the mid 1960s – a pivotal moment in twentieth-century art – and the thinking that gave rise to one of the most fertile creative periods in our recent history.

Résumé : History of art & Design styles : from 1900 -. A radical re-evaluation of American modernism. The importance of American artists in the history of modern art is well-known and well-documented, from Jackson Pollock to Mark Rothko and Andy Warhol. However, the work of such artists did not spontaneously appear after World War II, nor was it simply transplanted from Europe. There is a longer, subtler history of the development of modernism in relation to American artists, as well as teachers, patrons and collectors, which can be traced through the first half of the twentieth century

Résumé : A concise yet wide-reaching survey, this book presents visual art in California from the early twentieth century to the present day as a microcosm of the global contemporary, shaped by a compelling network of geopolitical influences, indigenous histories and complex migrations. Art historian Jenni Sorkin celebrates California as a centre of artistic activity whose influence extends far beyond its physical boundaries. Introducing an array of artists and practices, from photography to feminist art, the studio craft movement, Chicanx muralism and Black social activism, Sorkin focuses on art in California as radical, steeped in multiculturalism, ethnic identity, and community involvement. Organized both thematically and chronologically, and illustrated in full-colour throughout, Art in California includes chapters on photography and painting examined through the lens of gender and racial identity; the influence of Mexican muralism; post-war abstraction and the expansion of art education; 1960s cultural and political activism and the rise of ethnic studies; art schools and the alternative space movement, and California-centred biennial exhibitions. As the first introductory text on the subject, this engaging study offers an important reassessment of California’s contribution to modern and contemporary art in the United States and beyond.

Résumé : Célébré par la génération de peintres américains héritière de Pollock, Newman et Still, le critique d'art Clement Greenberg fut violemment contesté par la génération suivante qui lui reprocha sa vision moderniste de la peinture et sa conception formaliste de la critique d'art. Par une lecture de quelques textes cruciaux du critique, l'auteur dégage un Greenberg inattendu.

Résumé : L'historienne de l'art analyse les usages de la photographie et de la cartographie dans le champ artistique, phénomène apparu aux Etats-Unis à la fin des années 1960. Elle explique de quelle manière ce type d'oeuvre contribue à transformer l'approche du réel. ©Electre 2017. C’est au moyen de la cartographie et de la photographie que nombre d’artistes associés à l’art conceptuel et au Land Art ont interrogé le rapport que l’œuvre entretient avec le réel. Ainsi, Mel Bochner, Douglas Huebler, Dennis Oppenheim, Ed Ruscha et Robert Smithson se sont emparé de ces outils privilégiés de description et de documentation du territoire pour en déployer toutes les potentialités créatives. On découvre ici comment ces artistes, en prenant appui tant sur les images que sur les procédés photographiques et cartographiques, ont contribué à renouveler la perception du temps, du paysage et de l’espace. L’auteur nous conduit de la sorte à revisiter tout un pan de l’histoire de l’art américain contemporain. (Editeur)

Résumé : Born in Detroit, Michigan, Ray Johnson (1927-95) studied under Josef Albers and Robert Motherwell at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, and worked as a painter early in his career, exhibiting alongside Ad Reinhardt before embracing pop imagery, collage and mail art, producing thousands of collages and other works on paper. His life and death (by suicide, jumping from a bridge in Sag Harbor, Long Island) were the subject of the award-winning documentary How to Draw a Bunny (2002). 'That Was the Answer: Interviews with Ray Johnson' brings together a selection of interviews and conversations from 1963 to 1987 that offer unique access to Johnson's distinctive thinking and working methods. Throughout, Johnson's responses are marked by his humor and close attention to language. Gathering these interviews for the first time, That Was the Answer serves as an ideal introduction to Ray Johnson as well as a resource for those wanting deeper insight into this artist and his kaleidoscopic body of work.

Résumé : Contents : Contemporary art and the politics of democracy, 1987-2011 -- The arts of occupation: Zuccotti Park, site-specificity, and beyond -- Artists, workers, debtors -- On flooded streets and breathing-in-common: climate justice, Black Lives Matter, and the arts of decolonization -- Conclusion : The post-occupy condition: walking we ask questions.. "The collision of activism and contemporary art, from the Seattle protests to Occupy and beyond Activist art experienced a new beginning in the Seattle anti-globalization protests of 1999, reaching a zenith over a decade later with Occupy Wall Street, a movement initiated in part by artist-activists, and structured around creative direct actions and iconic imagery for the social media age. In parts of the mainstream art world, radical ideas were gaining traction over the same period, but remained confined within its institutional apparatus. Art critic Yates McKee recounts these parallel histories and their collisions, highlighting the limitations and complicities of the art world, and reviving the notion of art as an emancipatory practice woven into political struggle, whether around issues of debt, climate justice or police violence. Strike Art!'s claim is that Occupy fundamentally changed the horizon of contemporary art, whether or not the art world knows it yet"-- Provided by publisher.

Résumé : American Art 1961-2001takes a completely new look at the history of modern art in the United States between two decisive moments in wider American history, the Vietnam War and the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, through an extraordinary selection of works by celebrated artists like Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Barbara Kruger, Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Nauman, Cindy Sherman, Robert Rauschenberg, Kara Walker and Andy Warhol. The volume examines the richness and diversity of themes and currents in American art over the space of forty years, from modernist abstraction to contamination with mass production, from conceptual research and performance to demands for civil rights, through an extraordinary selection of more than eighty works of painting, photography, video and sculpture, as well as installations, from the collection of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, one of the most important museums of contemporary art in the world. Probing the very notion of the work of art, the volume investigates its relationship with the changes in contemporary society. Several generations of American artists have experimented with languages that are in fact open to a redefinition of the boundaries of art, combining different techniques and media and using the power of art as a means of tackling themes like consumer society and mass production, feminism and gender identity, questions of race and the struggle for civil rights.

Résumé : Beginning in the 1920s, Upper Manhattan became the center of an explosion of art, writing, and ideas that has since become legendary. But what we now know as the Harlem Renaissance, the first movement of international modern art led by African Americans, extended far beyond New York City. This volume reexamines the Harlem Renaissance as part of a global flowering of Black creativity, with roots in the New Negro theories and aesthetics of Alain Locke, its founding philosopher, as well as the writings of W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston. Featuring artists such as Aaron Douglas, Charles Henry Alston, Augusta Savage, and William H. Johnson, who synthesized the expressive figuration of the European avant-garde with the aesthetics of African sculpture and folk art to render all aspects of African American city life, this publication also includes works by lesser known contributors, including Laura Wheeler Waring and Samuel Joseph Brown, Jr., who took a more classical approach to depicting Black subjects with dignity, interiority, and gravitas. The works of New Negro artists active abroad are also examined in juxtaposition with those of their European and international African diasporan peers, from Germaine Casse and Ronald Moody to Henri Matisse, Edvard Munch, and Pablo Picasso. This reframing of a celebrated cultural phenomenon shows how the flow of ideas through Black artistic communities on both sides of the Atlantic contributed to international conversations around art, race, and identity while helping to define our notion of modernism.

Son esthétique repose sur l'art de l'exil et de la mélancolie ainsi que sur le jeu avec les apparences et l'illusion. ©Electre 2023
