¿Qué es una imagen, cómo se hace una obra, qué significa lo abstracto y cómo se confronta la vida con la gran corriente del Caos que desafía a los artistas? Para responder a estas preguntas que lo inquietan desde hace décadas, Luis Felipe Noé repasa su trayectoria personal, hace memoria de las diferentes etapas sociales, circunstancias políticas y amistades influyentes que lo acompañaron. Pero sobre todo vuelve a una antigua biblioteca repleta de libros de grandes filósofos, poetas y pintores con los que dialoga.El ojo que escribe se mira en ese espejo de palabras e imágenes, para revelarnos la trama creativa de un pensamiento y una obra de autor.
Luis Felipe Noé was an Argentine artist, writer, intellectual, and teacher. He was known in his home country as Yuyo. In 1961 he formed Otra Figuración (another figuration) with three other Argentine artists. Their eponymous exhibition and subsequent work greatly influenced the Neofiguration (Neo-figuration, New figuration) movement. After the group disbanded, Noé relocated to New York City where he created and exhibited assemblages which stretched the boundaries of the canvas. In 1965 he published his groundbreaking theoretical work, Antiestética. He then took a ten-year hiatus from painting and upon return to Buenos Aires opened a bar, taught, wrote and created installations with mirrors. A military coup coincided with his painting comeback, and in 1976 Noé migrated to Paris where he continued to experiment, both with canvas re-texturing and the drawing process. His later paintings move away from the figure and focus on elements of landscape. Noé lived and worked in Buenos Aires, New-York and Paris. His son, Gaspar Noé, is a Franco-Argentine filmmaker. His daughter, Paula,is a painter.
