I can't stop pointing to the beauty. Every moment and place says, "Put this design in your carpet!" (Rumi)
La "Bourse de commerce - Pinault collection" à Paris présente actuellement une rétrospective du mouvement "Art minimal" qui, né aux Etats Unis au début des années 60 en réaction à l’Expressionisme abstrait, se réclame d’un modernisme hérité du Bauhaus.
Aujourd’hui encore, bien que définitivement intégré dans l’histoire de l’art, ce mouvement qui peut paraître assez austère, déconcerte plus d’un visiteur qui n’aurait pas pris la précaution de s’informer sur son contexte historique et sa démarche artistique intellectuellement exigeante .
Peu d’émotion devant les œuvres présentées (ce n’est pas leur fonction) mais malgré tout le visiteur le plus rétif sera sans doute séduit comme je l'ai été par cette œuvre de l’artiste brésilienne Lygia Pape, décédée en 2004, œuvre constituée de fils d’or tendus présentée dans une salle immense plongée dans l’obscurité.
The "Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection" iin Paris s currently presenting a retrospective of the Minimal Art movement, which emerged in the United States in the early 1960s as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, claiming a modernism inherited from the Bauhaus.
Even today, although definitively integrated into art history, this movement, which can appear rather austere, disconcerts many a visitor who hasn't taken the precaution of learning about its historical context and its intellectually demanding artistic approach. The works on display evoke little emotion (that's not their purpose), but even the most resistant visitor will undoubtedly be captivated, as I was, by this work by the Brazilian artist Lygia Pape, who died in 2004. The piece, made of taut gold threads, is presented in a vast, darkened room.
It is time for this week's photo for the group PCA: Photography Critique Assignment.
Assignment: PCA66 – Haptic-Expressionism
Deadline: May 24th, 2009
Image Tag: pca66
Mission: The mission for this week is to produce a photographic image that is more subjective, abstract expression, and unconcerned with realistic representation. This is as opposed to visual photographic images that are concerned with the accurate reproduction of the world as it is seen.
WIT (What it took) My turn to talk...
First, I still am not sure what haptic-expressionism is. But I hope this shot fits. I took it late last night.
Dolls played a strong role in my childhood, many in a negative way. (Warning: I find the video clips really scary..I didn't even rewatch them) Being 7th of 8 kids meant I was exposed to a lot of media. My eldest brother was 12 years older than me. He loved to watch "Night Gallery", so I would sneak in and watch it too. Unfortunately I watched this episode...and didn't sleep for months. Then later I watched this on TV and continued an unnatural fear of dolls. No I didn't watch the film Magic or Chucky because I was already freaked out. Then of course my mom loved to play Patti Page music and this song haunts me to this day....
Here's the lyrics to The Mama Doll song which inspired this photo.
"I once had a doll
That was all dressed in white
I called her my baby
And I'd hold her tight
Her eyes were so blue
And her cheeks were so red
But I loved her most of all
Each time she said...
Mama, mama, mama, mama
One little word she knew
Mama, mama, mama, mama
To me it meant, I love you"
I don't have photoshop but wit my simple program Irfanview, I was able to come up with this photo that I hope elicits both fear and affection.
