Résumé:
Dans les années 1950 et jusqu’à la fin des années 1960, la science-fiction a joué, pour nombre d’artistes et de théoriciens anglais et américains, tant au plan iconographique qu’au plan méthodologique, un rôle stratégique : celui d’un véritable objet régulateur utilisé pour déplacer l’activité artistique loin de ses coordonnées conventionnelles. Dans cette entreprise, Eduardo Paolozzi côtoie Reyner Banham, Robert Smithson ou James Graham Ballard, Peter Hutchinson voisine avec Lawrence Alloway pour explorer ce que ce dernier a appelé « le front élargi de la culture » qui devient ici un ensemble d’images et d’idées rétrocédant en deçà du pop art, là où la subculture se fait relais d’invention. Passer l’art novateur au filtre de la SF, c’est par conséquent, pour les créateurs et les penseurs de l’époque mettant en œuvre cette opération théorique et plastique, ébranler radicalement les cadres d’une esthétique dominante — le formalisme — dont ils auront été les critiques en acte. Il en résulte notamment une révision des notions de passé, de présent et de futur dont Ballard, cet « anticipateur qui ne croit pas en l’avenir » comme il est dit dans l’ouvrage, est le fer de lance. Ce livre propose les pièces de ce dossier crucial pour la compréhension de l’art actuel.

Résumé:
The art of Alice Neel (1900-1984) distinguished itself from that of her American contemporaries by the special intimacy of its style, in which her drawing practice was a decisive factor. Though somewhat less known than her paintings, Neel's drawings and watercolors articulate an array of influences--German Expressionist and Neue Sachlichkeit painting, the Ashcan School, an early sojourn in Cuba--that accompanied her through her tentative beginnings in the mid-1920s through to the maturity of her art after the Second World War, when she found room to accommodate abstraction and Pop art.

Résumé:
With his memorably titled 1956 collage "Just What is it that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?", British artist Richard Hamilton (born 1922) heralded the British Pop revolution; and with his 1967 Swingeing London series of prints, which depicted the arrest of Mick Jagger and Robert Fraser, Hamilton's art entered the general public consciousness. But unlike so many Pop artists, Hamilton was never an uncritical or ambivalent advocate of postwar society, and he has often agitated directly against it, producing a great deal of openly political, satirical work that assaults both consumer culture at large and more immediate political events. This monograph, published for Hamilton's 2010 exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London (his first exhibition since 1992), brings together Hamilton's famous "protest" paintings as well as newer political works and features essays by Benjamin H.D. Buchloh and Michael Bracewell.

Résumé:
This Is Tomorrow was a seminal exhibition of art, architecture, music and graphic design that took place at London's Whitechapel Gallery in August 1956. At its core was a room given over to the Independent Group, the proto-Pop collective comprised of (at various stages) the theorists Reyner Banham and Lawrence Alloway, photographer Nigel Henderson and the artists Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, William Turnbull and John McHale. The Independent Group's room premiered works of Op art alongside film posters, collages, murals, films and a jukebox, and was Britain's introduction to the phenomenon later named Pop. The spiralbound catalogue for This Is Tomorrow was designed by Edward Wright and published by Lund Humphries; out of print since 1957, it has since become a much sought-after rarity and a classic of graphic design and postwar visual culture. This facsimile edition is published for the Whitechapel's 2010-11 reconstruction of the 1956 show.
