Hardcover, 160 pages, Texte en Francais, 290 x 225 mm, bon etat, illustrations de couleur et n/b. ISBN 9789462301887. Initi e par la c l bre sculptrice et m c ne Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875-1942), la collection du Whitney Museum of American Art de New York offre une v ritable anthologie de l'art am ricain du XXe si cle. Cette collection comporte des pi ces ma tresses du Pop art. Peintures, sculptures, impressions. une soixantaine de ces oeuvres seront pr sent es pour la premi re fois Paris, au Mus e Maillol du 22 septembre 2017 au 21 janvier 2018. Des figures majeures du mouvement Pop art, Robert Rauschenberg et Jasper Johns, aux sculptures et toiles monumentales de Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann, James Rosenquist et Alex Katz, en passant par les s rigraphies d'Andy Warhol, les peintures de Jim Dine ou de Roy Lichtenstein, l'exposition et le livre qui l'accompagne pr sentent le Pop art dans l'Am rique de l'apr s-guerre, du d but des ann es 1960 la fin des ann es 1970. Si l'exposition convoque ses plus grands repr sentants, elle va galement permettre de d couvrir des artistes am ricains moins connus en France (George Segal, Rosalyn Drexler, May Stevens, John Wesley) et d'appr cier la diversit des techniques employ es. Au d but des ann es 1960, les Etats-Unis voient merger en l'espace d'une d cennie une g n ration d'artistes en r action l'expressionnisme abstrait qui domine l' poque. La soci t de consommation se d veloppe parall lement une situation conomique en pleine croissance. C'est dans ce contexte que le Pop art va merger. Les artistes du courant Pop repr sentent g n ralement les objets du quotidien et les signes de la culture de masse populaire, recourant aux techniques employ es dans la publicit , la bande dessin e, convoquant des l ments textuels. Ce mouvement artistique se caract rise aussi par ses aplats de couleurs uniformes dans des tons francs, intenses, tranchants, selon une technique qu'on appellera le hard-edge. Il affirme sa croyance en la puissance des images, et c'est souvent avec humour, parfois avec ironie, qu'il se r approprie des figures iconiques comme Jackie Kennedy ou Marilyn Monroe et d peint the American way of life pour le c l brer et le critiquer en m me temps. 0 g.…
