About this title

Synopsis

Cet ouvrage r�unit une s�lection d'articles parus dans le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Si leur contenu d�passe la simple description, c'est sans doute parce que le b�n�fice des rencontres avec les artistes a profond�ment transform� l'auteur de ces essais. Chaque d�cennie apporte, sinon son style sp�cifique, du moins ses lamentations sur l'�poque. La n�tre est confront�e � la confusion et � la pr�cipitation qui caract�risent aujourd'hui le monde de l'art. La r�ception avide et h�tive de l'art contemporain joue pour les artistes le r�le d'un commanditaire dont l'approbation est aussi p�remptoire que les r�actions de rejet exprim�es par son coll�gue du si�cle dernier qui fait tant sourire. Il existe pourtant quelques artistes qui �voquent de mani�re critique l'illusion d'une croissance illimit�e et de notre pouvoir incontr�l�. C'est d'eux qu'il est question ici, des pr�curseurs de l'audace et de l'inventivit� comme George Grosz ou Max Ernst, mais aussi des repr�sentants du Pop'Art, de l'art conceptuel ou des peintres tels que Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer ou Sigmar Polke.
