réinstallations

By: François Morellet,Serge Lemoine,Alfred Pacquement

François Morellet a choisi de consacrer cette exposition à un aspect particulier de son oeuvre : les installations. " Depuis 48 ans, j'ai souvent pris un plus grand plaisir à imaginer et réaliser ces installations, mises en place éphémères d'éléments légers disposés différemment selon l'architecture de chaque lieu d'exposition, qu'à organiser des rétrospectives classiques [...]. Le titre Réinstallations est tout à fait justifié si l'on admet que la qualité la plus spécifique d'une installation est d'être éphémère : elle se doit de mourir pour éventuellement renaître, modifiée, bien entendu, par le nouvel espace qu'elle occupera. " Conçu à l'occasion de cet événement, l'ouvrage dirigé par les deux commissaires de l'exposition, Alfred Pacquement, directeur du Musée national d'art moderne, et Serge Lemoine, professeur d'histoire de l'art à la Sorbonne, retrace le parcours unique de l'artiste sous le prisme de ces Réinstallations.

Ellsworth Kelly

The Years in France, 1948-1954

By: Yve-Alain Bois,Jack Cowart,Ellsworth Kelly,Alfred Pacquement

In the late 1950s, Ellsworth Kelly emerged as a major figure in the vanguard of so-called "Hard Edge" New York abstraction. Noted for their articulate, sharply contoured planes, unified perspective, and shifting balances between foreground and background, Kelly's works expanded the language of both figuration and abstraction, establishing him as one of the leading postwar American artists. Earlier in his career, Kelly had spent six years in France, from 1948 to 1954, a time that proved decisive to the evolution of his art. Sponsored by the G. I. Bill, the artist closely studied contemporary and historical art, architecture and culture in Paris and various regions of France, as well as meeting with several other European and American artists. These were all critical stimuli at a time when Kelly was developing his distinct mature style. Published in connection with an exhibition co-organized by the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., this scintillating volume presents the first complete and accurate portrait of this pivotal stage in Kelly's career, drawing on previously unpublished work and observations by the artist. Excerpts from interviews and correspondence, and a chronicle of the artist's activities are included. The essays address the creative and interpretive issues of Kelly's work in relation to modern abstraction, his use of the "chance" and the modular grid, and the role of his photographs in recording motifs in nature. This volume reproduces for the first time all Kelly's paintings and low-relief sculpture of the period, as well as a selection of his earlier paintings done in New Jersey and Boston. A number of his photographs, drawings, sketchbooks, and collages are also featured. Comparative illustrations include portraits of his artist friends, photographs of Paris, and works by Matisse, Picasso, and others. Ironically, Kelly sold only one painting during his years in Paris although he participated in several avant-garde exhibitions. Yet the achievements of this period are recognized today as Kelly's first important works and have clearly established his international reputation.

Alexander Calder in het Rijksmuseum

By: Alfred Pacquement

When a sultry summer breeze sets in motion the mobiles'abstract limbs, no one can fail to be enchanted by the magic of Calder's work. Never as the artist's own description of his work as "moving Mondrians" been more apt than for this exhibition in the gardens of the Rijksmuseum, when Dutch skies and Amsterdam's playful sense of freedom offer the ideal environment for Calder's masterworks. 00Exhibition: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (21.06-05.10.2014).

Jean Dubuffet in het Rijksmuseum

By: Alfred Pacquement

Jean Dubuffet believed public art should take the form of?Monumental works whose great scale gives them authority, presented with solemnity in an appropriate setting, away from the restless hustle and bustle of the streets.? The calm and spacious setting of the Rijksmuseum gardens offers Dubuffet?s large sculptures of the Hourloupe cycle precisely the sort of surroundings the artist had in mind.00Exhibition: Gardens of the RIjksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (01.07.-01.10.2017).
