Paul Klee, un artiste majeur du Bauhaus
Décryptez l'art de Paul Klee en moins d'une heure!
Membre actif du Bauhaus, Paul Klee marque profondément le début du XXe siècle en prenant part à l'avènement de l'art abstrait. Avec plus de 9 000 œuvres à son catalogue, l'artiste surprend le monde entier par son travail qui révèle une réalité autre que celle dans laquelle nous vivons, tout en s'inspirant de la nature et de ses fondements. Grand amateur de musique, Paul Klee imprime un véritable rythme à son mouvement créateur et conçoit chacune de ses œuvres comme une partition.

Consuming Painting
In Consuming Painting , Allison Deutsch challenges the
pervasive view that Impressionism was above all about visual
experience. Focusing on the language of food and consumption as
they were used by such prominent critics as Baudelaire and Zola,
she writes new histories for familiar works by Manet, Monet,
Caillebotte, and Pissarro and creates fresh possibilities for
experiencing and interpreting them.
Examining the culinary metaphors that the most influential
critics used to express their attraction or disgust toward
painting, Deutsch rethinks French modern-life painting in relation
to the visceral reactions that these works evoked in their earliest
publics. Writers posed viewing as analogous to ingestion and used
comparisons to food to describe the appearance of paint and the
painter's process. The food metaphors they chose were aligned with
specific female types, such as red meat for sexualized female
flesh, confections for fashionably made-up women, and hearty
vegetables for agricultural laborers. These culinary figures of
speech, Deutsch argues, provide important insights into both the
fabrication of the feminine and the construction of masculinity in
nineteenth-century France. Consuming Painting exposes the
social politics at stake in the deeply gendered metaphors of sense
and sensation.
Original and convincing, Consuming Painting upends
traditional narratives of the sensory reception of modern painting.
This trailblazing book is essential reading for specialists in
nineteenth-century art and criticism, gender studies, and
modernism.

Critical Shift
American Civil-War era art critics James Jackson Jarves, Clarence Cook, and William J. Stillman classified styles and defined art in terms that have become fundamental to our modern periodization of the art of the nineteenth century. In Critical Shift, Karen Georgi re-reads many of their well-known texts, finding certain key discrepancies between their words and our historiography, pointing to unrecognized narrative desires. The book also studies ruptures and revolutionary breaks between “old” and “new” art, as well as the issue of the morality of “true” art. Georgi asserts that these concepts and their sometimes-loaded expression were part of larger rhetorical structures that gainsay the uses to which the key terms have been put in modern historiography. It has been more than fifty years since a book has been devoted to analyzing the careers of these three critics; and never before has their role in the historiography and periodization of American art been analyzed. The conclusions drawn from this close re-reading of well-known texts are significant for more than just our understanding of nineteenth century criticism. They challenge the fundamental nature of “historical context” in American art history.

Fractured times : culture and society in the twentieth century
\"Eric Hobsbawm, who passed away in 2012, was one of the most brilliant and original historians of our age. Through his work, he observed the great twentieth-century confrontation between bourgeois fin de siecle culture and myriad new movements and ideologies, from communism and extreme nationalism to Dadaism to the emergence of information technology. In Fractured Times, Hobsbawm, with characteristic verve, unpacks a century of cultural fragmentation. Hobsbawm examines the conditions that both created the flowering of the belle epoque and held the seeds of its disintegration: paternalistic capitalism, globalization, and the arrival of a mass consumer society. Passionate but never sentimental, he ranges freely across subjects as diverse as classical music, the fine arts, rock music, and sculpture. He records the passing of the golden age of the \"free intellectual\" and explores the lives of forgotten greats; analyzes the relationship between art and totalitarianism; and dissects phenomena as diverse as surrealism, art nouveau, the emancipation of women, and the myth of the American cowboy. Written with consummate imagination and skill, Fractured Times is the last book from one of our greatest modern-day thinkers.\"-- Provided by publisher.

The rise of the cult of Rembrandt
Voor veel negentiende-eeuwse Franse kunstenaars, schrijvers en verzamelaars had de naam Rembrandt een magische klank. Kunstenaars en critici beschouwden zijn werk en artistieke persoonlijkheid als maatgevend en gebruikten dat beeld ter rechtvaardiging van hun eigen doeleinden. Sommigen reconstrueerden Rembrandt zelfs tot een mythische figuur die hen ter inspiratie en tot voorbeeld diende.
