Résumé : The American art critic Arthur Danto (1924–2013) spent his entire life in pursuit of the essence of art. Influenced by Nietzsche, Hegel, and Schopenhauer, he concerned himself with issues related to representation theory, coined the term “art world,” and posited the end of traditional art. One of the art philosopher’s primary interests was the New York School—Abstract Expressionism. He considered the highly esteemed oeuvre of his friend Sean Scully to be its continuation and further development. “Scully’s historical importance lies in the way he has brought the great achievement of Abstract Expressionist painting into the contemporary moment.” Danto devoted a series of essays to the abstract stripe paintings by the Irish artist (*1945 in Dublin). The bibliophile publication assembles Danto’s essays on Scully’s body of work for the time in one volume, and combines them with select illustrations—paintings, photographs, and drawings by the painter.

Résumé : "Eileen Aigar (b.1899 Buenos Aires; d.1991 London) is an often overlooked but crucial figure within the development of European twentieth-century culture. Throughout her 80-year career she synthesised elements of both cubism and surrealism to create a unique personal style suffused with intelligence, wit, irreverence, and emotion through a century of huge social and political change. Previously appraised in relation to her connections to better-known male figures of British and European modernism such as Paul Nash, Ezra Pound, Roland Penrose and Paul Eluard, this first major survey of her work will place her firmly as a pioneering surrealist artist in her own right, illuminating her progressive attitudes to making, sexuality and art history. This timely monograph will feature rarely-seen work, as well as new contributions by writer Marina Warner, poet Daisy Lafarge and Aigar's biographer Andrew Lambirth."--Provided by publisher.

Résumé : This monograph accompanies the first European retrospective of the work of Lee Krasner (1908-1984). One of the original abstract expressionists, Krasner's importance has for too long been eclipsed by her marriage to Jackson Pollock. In fact, his death in 1956 marked her renaissance as an artist. Over the course of more than five decades, Krasner continually scrutinized and reinvented her practice, giving her work formidable energy and impact. Her accomplishments began to be recognized toward the end of her life and in 1984 she became one of the few women artists to be given a solo exhibition at MoMA. As Krasner quipped about her belated recognition: "I was a woman, Jewish, a widow, a damn good painter, thank you, and a little too independent". This volume features an outstanding selection of her most important paintings, collages and drawings, contextualized by photography from the post-war period, an illustrated chronology, and includes an unpublished interview with her biographer Gail Levin. Tracing her evolution as an artist - from her earliest self-portraits to the acclaimed `little image' series, from her 1950s collages to epic painterly canvases - this book offers a vivid impression of one of the most tenacious women artists of the 20th century, whose work and life feels more relevant than ever today.

Résumé : Monographie de référence du fondateur de l'Abstraction lyrique, inventeur des performances et du tubisme, pionnier de l'Action Painting, de la vitesse et du dripping, inspirateur du street art. Figure majeure de l'abstraction du milieu du XXe siècle, considéré par Clement Greenberg comme le plus influent des peintres européens de son époque, Georges Mathieu n'avait jusqu'à présent pas fait l'objet d'une monographie de cette envergure. Réunissant des textes de Germano Celant, Édouard Lombard et Nancy Spector, ainsi qu'une chronologie de Daniel Abadie, cet ouvrage dresse un panorama complet de l'œuvre de l'artiste, en présentant une large sélection de peintures et d'œuvres sur papier couvrant quatre décennies de production d'un artiste ayant traversé le XXe siècle et le milieu artistique en Europe comme aux États-Unis.

Résumé : Tout au long de sa vie, la pionnière de l'art abstrait a utilisé des méthodes axées sur la recherche pour tenter de comprendre les contextes spirituels du monde. Elle a étudié les plantes et d'autres objets non vivants à travers le prisme de la géométrie, considérant la nature comme un système parfait qui n'attend qu'à être observé de près par le genre humain. Ce concept est analysé de manière détaillée dans ce cinquième volume de son catalogue raisonné.

Résumé : De l’utopisme des avant-gardes, le souhait d’une modernité absolue, d’un art, d’un monde et d’un homme radicalement nouveaux, mais aussi le dépassement de tous les contraires, il fallait un lieu qui n’en fût pas un, un espace inconnu et sans limites. Seul le cosmos pouvait prétendre assumer pareil rôle. Non-lieu, il devint l’horizon logique des utopies modernistes. Le cosmos a acquis pendant la période des avant gardes historiques un droit de préemption sur l’abstraction qu’il saura faire valoir lors de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, tout particulièrement quand il sera question d’espace, de mouvement ou de lumière et lorsque la géométrie voudra rêver d’autres règles que celles qui la gouvernant depuis Euclide. On le sait, les origines de l’abstraction sont multiples. Le difficile abandon de la figuration a dû s’autoriser de différents récits. S’il n’y a pas, à proprement parler, une genèse cosmique de l’abstraction, les références au cosmos jalonnent l’apparition de cette dernière comme ses développements ultérieurs. La passion chromatique et le tropisme luministe qui accompagnent la naissance de l’abstraction ont donné une place essentielle au motif solaire et cosmique. Si le cosmos des artistes de la modernité a longtemps été celui de la science, il est peu à peu devenu celui de la science-fiction. Quand il regarde en direction du cosmos, l’art se tourne aujourd’hui vers le passé. C’est ce que révèlent plusieurs travaux des deux dernières décennies, d’orientations esthétiques variées. De Frantisek KUPKA, à Antoine PEVSNER, en passant par Jean DEWASNE, BRASSAI, Lucio FONTANA, Evariste RICHER, Max ERNST, Alain JACQUET… ces artistes révèlent en leur perception et leur l’interprétation des astres et du cosmos.

Résumé : Monographie rassemblant une cinquantaine d'œuvres de Judy Chicago et des documents inédits, accompagnés de trois textes critiques de Géraldine Gourbe.Judy Chicago déclare vouloir vivre le plus longtemps possible non pas pour transcender son statut de mortelle mais pour être là, face à la reconnaissance successive de ses différentes œuvres. Tenir debout contre vents et marées est l'image qui caractérise cette artiste davantage visionnaire que pionnière comme on l'a beaucoup écrit à son sujet. Contrairement aux artistes pionnières, Judy Chicago n'a jamais rejoint le canon eurocentrique, moderniste et blanc des « grands ». Elle a su toujours déjouer ce rapport à l'histoire en proposant un monde d'alternatives to sustain the vision. Faisant suite à l'exposition Los Angeles, Les années cool (Villa Arson, 2018, commissariat : Géraldine Gourbe), le livre propose une iconographie d'une cinquantaine d'œuvres et documents inédits, accompagnés de trois textes critiques.

Résumé : "In the early 1950s, Willem de Kooning's Woman I and subsequent paintings established him as a leading member of the abstract expressionist movement. His wildly impacted brushstrokes and heavily encrusted surfaces baffled most critics, who saw de Kooning's monstrous female image as violent, aggressive, and ultimately the product of a misogynistic mind. In the image-rich Willem de Kooning Nonstop, Rosalind E. Krauss counters this view with a radical rethinking of de Kooning's bold canvases and reveals his true artistic practices. Krauss demonstrates that contrary to popular conceptions of de Kooning as an artist who painted chaotically only to finish abruptly, he was in fact constantly reworking the same subject based on a compositional template. This template informed all of his art and included a three-part vertical structure ; the projection of his male point of view into the painting or sculpture ; and the near-universal inclusion of the female form, which was paired with her redoubled projection onto his work. Krauss identifies these elements throughout de Kooning's oeuvre, even in his paintings of highways, boats, and landscapes : Woman is always there. A thought-provoking study by one of America's greatest art critics, Willem de Kooning Nonstop revolutionizes our understanding of de Kooning and shows us what has always been hiding in plain sight in his work"--Publisher's website

Résumé : The only complete career retrospective of this visionary painter - a classic, now available again in a handsome new binding. Agnes Martin's career spanned over seven decades. Though a major influence on Minimalist painters, Martin saw her own work, more closely related to Abstract Expressionism, her paintings being 'meditations on innocence, beauty, happiness and love.' More than 150 of Martin's paintings present the full extent of her artistic career, and her own words explain how they were inspired by ideas on love, joy, beauty, humility, solitude, perfection, 'freedom from the cares of this world', destiny and the nature of existence. Martin's writings are fascinatingly direct in explaining her philosophies on art and on the themes of life that inspire her paintings and drawings, and facsimilies presenting her words in her own handwriting intimately convey her thoughts. The artist's works and writings are here introduced by art dealer and film director, Arne Glimcher, who represented the artist for most of her career and was a good friend. He opens the book with reminiscences of working with Martin and how her art developed during her life, and later in the book are notes on visits he made to Martin's studio and home in New Mexico. With beautifully accurate reproductions of Martin's works, and foldouts to show her series as groups, as well as the comprehensive presentation of works and writings, this luxurious book is unprecedented: a uniquely full and intimate celebration of the artist.

Résumé : Notes and Methods presents facsimile reproductions of a wide array of af Klint's early notebooks accompanied by the first English translation of af Klint's extensive writings. It contains the rarely seen "Blue Notebooks," hand-painted and annotated catalogues af Klint created of her most famous series "Paintings for the Temple," and a dictionary compiled by af Klint of the words and letters found in her work. An introduction by Iris Muller-Westermann illuminates this unique and important contribution to the legacy of Hilma af Klint.At the turn of the century, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) created a body of work that left visible reality behind, exploring the radical possibilities of abstraction years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, or Piet Mondrian, acknowledged fathers of twentieth-century abstraction. Like many of her contemporaries, af Klint was interested in the invisible relationships that scientists at the turn of the century were discovering shape the world. She strongly believed in a spiritual dimension to the universe and devoted her life to an exploration of this realm. Hilma af Klint's process of investigation took many forms and drew on systems and symbols outside the traditional language of art. Notes and Methods traces the origins of her powerful abstract work. Included are the mediumistic drawings she created with the group of women who called themselves The Five; Flowers, Mosses, and Lichens, a spiritual explication of the plant world; and the Blue Books, in which af Klint catalogued her most important body of work, The Paintings for the Temple. Notes and Methods is the first extensive English translation of the writings of Hilma af Klint. In addition to translations of all notebooks reproduced, Notes and Methods also includes Letters and Words Pertaining to Works by Hilma af Klint, an invaluable guide to the meaning behind the work, compiled by Hilma af Klint herself--back cover.

Résumé : Abstract paintings were being produced even before Kandinsky. Completely independently from each other, Georgiana Houghton (1814–1884) in England, Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) in Sweden and Emma Kunz (1892–1963) in Switzerland developed an individual, abstract pictorial language. What they had in common was a desire to make visible the laws of nature, the intellect and the supernatural. Their works are being presented side by side for the first time in an exhibition.
