The image is taken from a newspaper photograph that shows the two being driven from Lewes prison to Chichester Magistrates Court following their June 1967 arrest for possession of drugs. Andrew Wilson views Swingeing London 67 (f) as history painting, to be understood in the context of the struggle against the British state's attempt--aided and abetted by the popular press--to repress any expression of personal liberation. Hamilton's Pop art idiom of figuration and media images was his way of refusing the demands of an old aesthetic order.

Résumé:
Institutional critique is an artistic practice that reflects critically on its own housing in galleries and museums and on the concept and social function of art itself.

Résumé:
We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today’s informatio explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visual. This publication examines this revolution in various fields, with researchers from the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of the image in our time. The contributors explore and discuss new critical terms of multidisciplinary scope, from database economy to the dramaturgy of hypermedia, from visualizations in neurosciences to the image in bio art. They consider the power of the image in the development of human consciousness, pursue new definitions of visual phenomena, and examine new tools for image research and visual analysis. The goal is to expand visual competence in investigating new visual worlds and to build cross-disciplinary exchanges among the arts, humanities, and natural sciences.

Résumé:
This book attempts to chart the history of art and its interaction with written language. It examines the use of words (or language) in many genres of art – most often painting, but including prints, the book as art, sculpture, installation, and performance. This book asks what does it mean when a painting is 'invaded' by language? How do the two forms converse and combine, and what messages are intended for the viewer? In addition, other important themes that are also addressed include the naming or titling of paintings, the uses of narrative in art, and the literary connections and aspirations of artists. The book is constructed around three wide-ranging essays by John Dixon Hunt, David Lomas and Michael Corris. These essays discuss the use and significance of words in art – from Classical Greece and Assyria, through to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, to modern times and today’s digital media, where the words and image question has become a central issue. The essays cover a variety of movements (Pre-Raphaelites, Cubists, Surrealists, and Lettrists, for example) and many artists, among them Duchamp, Picasso, Ernst, Twombly, Michaux, Warhol and Kruger. The book also includes ‘spotlight’ essays on artists whose work engages substantially with questions of word and image: Blake, Klee, Schwitters, Haack, Pettibon, McCahon and Walla. With contributions by Jeremy Adler, Stephen Barber, Rex Butler and Laurence Simmons, Michael Corris, John Dixon Hunt, Michael R. Leaman, David Lomas, Joseph Viscomi, Hamza Walker, Barbara Weyandt and Michael White.

Résumé:
In the heady and hallucinogenic days of the 1960s and '70s, a diverse range of artists and creative individuals based in the American West -from the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest - broke the barriers between art and lifestyle and embraced the new, hybrid sensibilities of the countercultural movement. In "West of Center," Elissa Auther and Adam Lerner bring together a prominent group of scholars to elaborate the historical and artistic significance of these counterculture projects within the broader narrative of postwar American art, which skews heavily toward New York's avant-garde art scene. A companion to an exhibition originating at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, this book illuminates how, in the western United States, the counterculture's unique integration of art practices, political action, and collaborative life activities serves as a linchpin connecting postwar and contemporary artistic endeavors.

Les textes très accessibles s'associent de façon originale à près de 800 images en couleur pour transmettre les dimensions voilées du sens. Chacun de ces quelques 350 essais examine les origines psychiques d'un symbole donné et la manière dont il évoque les processus et dynamiques psychiques. Les racines étymologiques, les jeux d'opposition, le paradoxe et l'ombre, les différentes manières dont les diverses cultures ont fait naître une image symbolique: tous ces facteurs sont pris en compte. Rédigés par des auteurs spécialisés dans les domaines de la psychologie, de la religion, de l'art, de la littérature et de la mythologie comparée, les essais entrent en résonance de manière à refléter les correspondances inattendues de la psyché. Il n'existe pas de définitions immuables, qui auraient tendance à écraser les symboles; un symbole encore essentiel demeure partiellement inconnu, attire notre attention et s'offre sous de nouvelles manifestations et de nouveaux sens au cours du temps. Plutôt que de proposer de simples catégories, le Livre des symboles met en lumière la manière dont on passe de l'expérience visuelle d'une image symbolique dans l'art, la religion, la vie ou les rêves, à l'expérience directe de ses résonances personnelles et psychologiques.

This ground-breaking volume explores both the increasing emergence of the theme of migration as a dominant subject matter in art as well as the ways in which the varied mobilities of a globalized world have radically reshaped art's conditions of production, reception, and display. In a wide-ranging selection of essays, fourteen distinguished scholars in the fields of visual studies, art history, literary studies, global studies, and art criticism explore the universality of conditions of global migration and interdependence, inviting a rethinking of existing perspectives in postcolonial, transnational, and diaspora studies, and laying the foundation for empirical and theoretical directions beyond the terms of these traditional frameworks.

Ce n'est pas un art pour les hommes en général, mais pour une classe très particulière d'hommes qui, même s'ils ne valent pas plus que les autres, sont de toute évidence différents." Jean Cassou disait d'Ortega y Gasset qu'il ne craignait pas la frivolité, voire la recherchait. Ce n'est pas le moindre des paradoxes, quand on lit ce texte-ci, mélange de critique "sérieuse" et de fascination-répulsion pour un art désormais futile aux yeux de l'auteur. Ortega y Gasset s'attaque en effet à une tendance de l'art de l'époque (ce texte est publié pour la première fois en 1925) à éliminer la figure humaine de ses sujets au point de devenir autocritique, voire un jeu entre artistes. Cela conduit à le rendre impopulaire. Dégagé du sérieux et de tout pathos, l'art perd sa transcendance au profit de la superficialité, du divertissement. Il est désormais élitiste, il exclut les masses. Il est le symptôme d'une crise culturelle, qui annonce la décadence d'une société de plus en plus tournée vers le spectacle. En effet, l'art finit par se vider de tout contenu: "Tout comme dans un système de miroirs qui se réfléchissent indéfiniment les uns dans les autres, aucune forme n'est la dernière. Toutes sont moquées et réduites à pure image."
