Résumé:
Marcel Dzama is a prolific artist who works in multiple disciplines, including sculpture, watercolour, ink, collage, and film. His art depicts anachronistic, fanciful, and subversive worlds that contain human figures, animals, and mythical hybrid creatures. Using a visual language strongly influenced by fables and masquerades, his complex narratives transport the viewer into an enigmatic world of life and death, calm and violence, where irony, ridicule, and sexual themes disguise allusions to contemporary social and political issues. This catalogue of drawings, dioramas, and other works is published on the occasion of an exhibition of Dzamas work at La Casa Encendida in Madrid.

This rare and previously unpublished document of her working process contains intricate drawings for her large body of graphic work, as well as studies for her late knot drawings.

Résumé:
From the outset, American artist Betty Woodman (born 1930) has used ceramics as her medium of expression and artistic research, and it has made her one of the most influential and original voices on the international art scene. Bridging the gap between art and craft, Woodman moves nimbly between the traditions of an age-old medium, taking inspiration from Minoan and Egyptian art, Greek and Etruscan sculpture, Tang Dynasty works, majolica and Sèvres porcelain, Italian Baroque architecture and the paintings of Bonnard, Picasso and Matisse, while also introducing innovations in both style and technique. This publication focuses on work made over the past ten years, while taking stock of Woodman's continued relevance to contemporary art and her importance among postwar artists.

Résumé:
Quand l'artiste allemande Charlotte Salomon (1917-1943) confia sa série de gouaches Vie ? ou Théâtre ? à un ami, elle le supplia : « Prends-en soin, c'est toute ma vie. » Quelques mois plus tard, enceinte de 5 mois, elle mourait assassinée à Auschwitz. L'oeuvre que Charlotte Salomon a laissée en héritage constitue, au sens littéral, sa pièce de résistance, « quelque chose de vraiment fou et singulier » selon ses propres termes. Ce cycle de gouaches dessine un autoportrait vivant embrassant toutes les facettes de son existence : son enfance et son adolescence à Berlin, ses études d'art à l'ombre du Troisième Reich, sa relation avec le professeur de chant Alfred Wolfsohn, son exil en France et la complexité de son histoire familiale, marquée par le suicide de presque toutes les représentantes féminines.

Résumé:
Known for her intricate and dynamic wire sculptures, the American sculptor, educator and arts activist Ruth Asawa challenged conventional notions of material and form through her emphasis on lightness and transparency. Asawa began her now iconic looped-wire works in the late 1940s while still a student at Black Mountain College. Their unique structure was inspired by a 1947 trip to Mexico, during which local craftsmen taught her how to create baskets out of wire. While seemingly unrelated to the lessons of color and composition taught in Josef Albers’ legendary Basic Design course, these works, as she explained, are firmly grounded in his teachings in their use of unexpected materials and their elision of figure and ground.

Résumé:
Belgian artist and draughtswoman Hannelore Van Dijck produces minute and highly textured charcoal drawings that often cover entire surfaces, whether they be walls, floors, sheets of paper, or textiles. Although her drawings might seem abstract at first, they are essentially hyperrealistic. Often the differences she introduces are subtle and nuanced, and therein lies their power. They can be described as graphic interventions – small dashes, circular or geometric motifs, lines resembling wood grain, smudges – that appear natural in a way, and as such, become part of the architecture or environment. This artists’ book coincides with an exhibition of Van Dijck’s work at Be-Part in Belgium.

Résumé:
Mark Dion is a prominent pioneer of environmental and ecological art. As a visual artist, he appropriates scientific methods of fieldwork, collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects. He reflects on the visual representation of nature, engages in institutional critique, contributes to postcolonial discourse, and bears witness to the devastating impact of humankind on our natural environment. Nearly a hundred illustrated texts by Dion and interviews with the artist from the mid-1980s to the present are published in this book. His writings are characterised by curiosity, directness, and intellectual versatility. Often polemical and mildly ironic, they emphasise the urgency of his work.

Résumé:
Il retrace l’itinéraire de Pierre Soulages, de sa découverte du monde de l’art dans le Paris de l’entre-deux-guerres à sa rencontre avec l’école de New York et l’expressionnisme abstrait, de la reconnaissance internationale dès le début des années 1950 à l’ouverture du musée de Rodez. Et simultanément, il explore la singularité esthétique d’une œuvre qui interroge le pouvoir de la peinture, un pouvoir intimement lié à la sensation et l’émotion. L’art, selon Soulages, doit « rendre présent un rapport aux autres et au monde. L’œuvre renouvelle le regard, le change et nous change, et à travers les époques exerce un pouvoir sur celui qui regarde. […] Très tôt j’ai pratiqué une peinture qui abandonnait l’image, et que je n’ai jamais considérée comme un langage (au sens où le langage transmet une signification). Ni image, ni langage. »
