Synopsis
La combinaison de politique et de poésie dans l''oeuvre de William Kentridge a laissé une marque indélébile sur la scène artistique contemporaine. Né à Johannesburgh en 1955, William Kentridge a d''abord suivi des études de sciences politiques avant de se tourner vers l''art. Connu essentiellement pour ses films d''animation composés de dessins au fusain, cet artiste travaille aussi la gravure, le collage, la sculpture, la performance et l''opéra. Associant le politique et le poétique, William Kentridge entreprend dans son oeuvre graphique, comme dans ses installations et ses films, de dénoncer l''apartheid et le colonialisme : "Je pratique un art politique, c''est-à-dire ambigu, contradictoire, inachevé, orienté vers des fins précises : un art d''un optimisme mesuré, qui refuse le nihilisme." Ce catalogue d''exposition s''articule autour des cinq grands thèmes qui ont mobilisé Kentridge depuis les trente dernières années, au travers d''une importante sélection de ses oeuvres de la fin des années 1980 jusqu''à nos jours. Mettant l''accent sur ses productions les plus récentes comme Learning from the Absurd : The Nose (2008), l''exposition révèle, pour la première fois en France, le très large éventail de son oeuvre.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 264 pp., 294 ills. hardcover, with DVD 25 x 27 cm - South African artist William Kentridge (*1955 in Johannesburg) works with a variety of media, such as drawing, sculpture, film, and theater.This publication examines five of the fundamental themes Kentridge examines in his work. Aside from projects that reflect the tensions, conflicts, and transitions in South Africa, the artist s home, the book also focuses on his most well-known characters, the domineering businessman Soho Eckstein, and his alter ego, Felix Teitlebaum, as well as on his stage designs for productions of Mozart s Magic Flute and Shostakovich s The Nose. Kentridge has created a DVD especially for this book. It provides a fascinating look at the artist at work in his studio and includes excerpts from his major film projects.
