Avec Christopher Alexander, Brian Hanson, Michael Mehaffy, Terry M. Mikiten. "Le roi est nu": ce vieil adage est définitivement approprié au triste cas du déconstructivisme, car ce dernier n’est rien d’autre qu’un modernisme déguisé sous une autre forme.

Les modernistes, notamment ceux du Bauhaus, voulaient la table rase ; se débarrasser de tout l’existant, tout en revendiquant cependant certains liens avec le passé : le Parthénon (Jeanneret-Gris, alias Le Corbusier, etc.), le mouvement anglais Arts and Crafts (Pevsner, etc.) et le néoclassicisme prussien (Mies Van der Rohe), afin de donner une fausse parenté historique à leurs fins et à leurs créations. Aujourd’hui, ce sont les architectes déconstructivistes et leurs supporters qui se réclament de toutes sortes de liens et de précédents fumeux pour soutenir leurs travaux.

While National Socialist exhibitions are widely understood as platforms for attacking modern art, they also served as sites of surprising formal experimentation among artists, architects, and others, who often drew(...)

Summary:
In one of the most comprehensive analyses ever written on the subject, Michael Tymkiw reassesses the relationship between Nazi exhibition design and modernism. While National Socialist exhibitions are widely understood as platforms for attacking modern art, they also served as sites of surprising formal experimentation among artists, architects, and others, who often drew upon and reconfigured the practices and principles of modernism when designing exhibition spaces and the objects within. In this book, Tymkiw reveals that a central motivation behind such experimentation was the interest in provoking what he calls "engaged spectatorship"—attempts to elicit experiences among exhibition-goers that would pique their desire to become involved in wider processes of social and political change.

Summary:
Modernism ushered in some of the most exciting innovations in art and literature, from Fauvism, Cubism, and Dada, to the novels of James Joyce and Franz Kafka, to such provocative works as Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain." But Modernism also left many people puzzled in its wake. How can a routine bathroom fixture be considered a work of art? Shouldn't a novel have a beginning, a middle, and an end--or at least a story? In this publication, Christopher Butler provides a coherent account of Modernism across various aesthetic and cultural fields. Butler examines how and why Modernism began, explaining what it is and showing how virtually all aspects of 20th and 21st century life have been influenced by its aesthetic legacy. Butler considers several aspects of modernism, including some classic modernist works, movements and notions of the avant garde, and the idea of "progress" in art. Finally, Butler sheds light on modernist ideas of the self, subjectivity, irrationalism, people and machines, and the political dimensions of modernism as a whole.

Après avoir suivi une formation photographique en Allemagne, dans le cadre de l'école légendaire du Bauhaus ou au studio de Paul Wolff — dont le nom est étroitement associé à la marque Leica —, elles ont toutes trois commencé d'exercer leur métier à Berlin, Paris et Londres. Puis chacune d'elles a traversé l'Atlantique en direction d'un pays différent pour poursuivre sa carrière : Grete Stern en Argentine, Hildegard Rosenthal au Brésil et Jeanne Mandello en Uruguay. Trois destins qui ont en commun l'exil et le désir de liberté; trois oeuvres qui incarnent les multiples facettes de la photographie de leur époque.

Summary:
It fired the imagination of hundreds of progressive artists across Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary and Poland. It became a symbol of modernity for millions through its use in magazines, newspapers, advertising and books. Published to accompany an exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, this book presents the work that redefined the very notion of art and embodied at times a dizzying freedom from traditional social roles. Familiar names such as László Moholy-Nagy, Josef Sudek and the Bauhaus are connected to a wealth of individuals and organizations whose influence is being recovered for the first time. The perceptive text explores topics ranging from the avant-garde (surrealism, experimental photography) to popular culture (tabloids, sports, the ‘new woman’) to extremist politics and war. Particular attention is given to photomontage, a technique that epitomized the era and found broad acceptance among artists and mass media outlets.

Summary:
«Modernist photography» re-examines the classic period of 20th-century photography using new critical approaches to consider five recurrent visual themes during the years 1915 to 1945. These themes cut across such stylistic movements as Pictorialism, Surrealism, and the New Vision, and include the transformation of objects, experimental images of the body, visions of the city, the industrialization of the countryside, and experimental directions in poster design and typography. This thematic approach fosters new perspectives on such key photographers as Bernice Abbott, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Raoul Hausmann, Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks and Man Ray and emphasizes the interactions between European and American practitioners. The catalogue includes chapters on each of the five themes by ICP Curators Christopher Phillips and Vanessa Rocco. It is based on a selection of 70 works from the Daniel Cowin Collection. The collection of about 1,600 images dates from 1860 to 1960 and includes a range of processes and formats--postcards, stereographs, carte-de-vistes, tintypes, albumen prints, and gelatin silver prints.
