هنر معاصر در فرانسه

Rate this book
A comprehensive review of the artistic movements that have taken place in France from the 1960s to the present, this study benefits from the anecdotes and personal memories of its author, Catherine Millet. The internationally respected art critic, who was herself an active participant in these movements, breathes life into this factual chronology of the contemporary art scene in France. She exposes the often unexpected links between movements by underscoring their contradictions and taking into consideration the social and cultural changes that have occurred since the 1960s in France and across the globe. An extensive reference, this book provides the keys to understanding the international contemporary art scene as a whole. Contemporary Art in France serves as an historical essay, offering a profound analysis of the prevailing tendencies and characteristics of art of the past forty years. Available for the first time in English, the book is completed by a chronology of events, a thorough account of the latest creative developments, and more than 300 illustrations.

از دوره‌ی سورئال و آراگونِ شاعر با هنرِ متفاوت پاریس روبه‌روییم.هنری که با برگشت به ابتدا و نابودی خود‌،آفرینشی جدید را پایه‌گذاری می‌کند.
کاترین میه سردبیر مجله ی آرت پرس در این کتاب به نقد و معرفی جریان‌های آوانگارد هنر تا سال ۲۰۰۵ می‌پردازد.مهشید‌نونهالی با اندیشه‌ و ترجمه‌ رمان‌های نو چه از ناتالی ساروت یا منتقدانی مثل بلانشو و ریکور نشان داده که اگر اندیشه مترجم " نو "نباشد،جریان اندیشه‌ای "نو" نیز ایجاد نمی‌شود.

Je lis rarement de la non-fiction mais j'avais envie de changer et de revenir à l'histoire de l'art. J'en ai fait pendant 6 ans (pas en matière principale toutefois) et je crois posséder une bonne connaissance du milieu actuel. L'art contemporain me fascine car souvent, je ne le comprends pas. C'est vrai, à l'exception de quelques artistes tel Bill Viola ou Gerhald Richter, je suis complètement perdue. C'est soit j'adore, ça me bouleverse profondément, soit ça me laisse totalement de marbre.

Le fait est que j'ai apprécié ma lecture car elle correspondait à ce que je cherchait. J'avais envie de me replonger en douceur dans mes cours de licence et de lycée. Je connaissais une grande partie des artistes et critiques que Catherine Millet évoquait. J'étais familière des idées qu'elle exposait. Mais en même temps elle a réussie à répondre à certains questionnements que je pouvais avoir concernant l'art contemporain. Même si franchement, pour moi, l'art c'est un toujours un peu comme un puzzle infinissable: il y aura toujours une pièce manquante.
