  • Germaine Richier
    78 TATE MODERN LIVES OF THE ARTISTS 79 Along with her contemporary Alberto Giacometti, Germaine Richier, the French artist Germaine Richier created bold Chessboard, Large Version sculpture that reflected the existential angst of (Original Painted Plaster) 1959, plaster and metal post-war Europe and influenced a generation of young British sculptors Natalie Ferris on Germaine Richier In 1957, discussing her own work, the sculptor and etcher Germaine Richier (1902–1959) reflected upon an artistic practice that had long negotiated the savagery of conflict and the fragility of the human spirit: ‘Our age, when you consider it, is full of talons. People bristle, as they do after long wars. It seems to me that in violent works there is just as much sensibility as in poetic ones. There can be just as much wisdom in violence as in gentleness.’ Perforated, shorn of musculature, or buckling under the strain of their own distended bodies, her bronzes emerged from the furnace of a beleaguered post-war France. Along with her contemporary, the sculptor Alberto Giacometti, with whom she was frequently compared, Richier explored the new image of humanity in an era freighted with continued privation and existentialist angst. And yet the apparent violence committed to these bodies, from the corrosion of their surfaces to the distortion of their limbs, is also a matter of alchemy. In curious, 80 TATE MODERN LIVES OF THE ARTISTS 81 mystical compounds reminiscent of surrealist artists The fact that she is not as well known today Max Ernst or Wifredo Lam, her figures adopt strange as Giacometti may be because of her gender.

  • GERMAINE RICHIER by Alex Turgeon 18/04 – 31/05/2018
    GERMAINE RICHIER By Alex Turgeon 18/04 – 31/05/2018 The sculptural work of artist Germaine Richier operates at the intersection between an exertion of degradation and a perpetual state of chrysalis. Rendered in illusory realms while maintaining a self- reflexive approach to making, Richier’s sculptures describe the transition from materials into form. The Fourteen bronzes on display at Vedovi Gallery exemplify Richier’s innovative pursuits that have spanned her artistic career. These works articulate the artist’s fascination with figuration in which the definitions between external and internal subject become obscured. Having preferred a classical approach to sculpture by working predominantly from live models in her studio, Richier locates an interior narrative within her subject and wrenches it into being through her deconstruction of the figure. The artist incorporates natural processes of decay with that of human existentialism, a theme that dominated artistic discourse during the years following the Second World War. Exemplified in the macabre chess pieces of the pivotal L'Echiquier petit (1953), her work describes moments of metamorphosis and decomposition from human into animal or vice versa as a means of illustrating the dehumanizing effects of war itself. In such works she transfigures her subjects into unearthly creatures by excavating a reflection on humanity in the wake of its own brutality, stating “we decidedly cannot conceal human expression in the drama of our time.” 1 In her seminal work, Le cheval à six têtes, grand (1954-1956), on view in both large and small scale bronzes, Richier succeeds in collapsing time into a single permanent moment.

  • The Art Criticism of David Sylvester James Finch Word Count
    The Art Criticism of David Sylvester James Finch Word Count: 99,908 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the University of Kent for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of the History and Philosophy of Art, the University of Kent, Canterbury September 2016 2 © Copyright James Finch, 2016. All rights reserved. 3 Abstract The English art critic and curator David Sylvester (1924-2001) played a significant role in the formation of taste in Britain during the second half of the twentieth century. Through his writing, curating and other work Sylvester did much to shape the reputations of, and discourse around, important twentieth century artists including Francis Bacon, Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore and René Magritte. At the same time his career is of significant sociohistorical interest. On a personal level it shows how a schoolboy expelled at the age of fifteen with no qualifications went on to become a CBE, a Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the first critic to receive a Leone d’Oro at the Venice Biennale, assembling a personal collection of artworks worth millions of pounds in the process. In terms of the history of post-war art more broadly, meanwhile, Sylvester’s criticism provides a way of understanding developments in British art and its relation to those in Paris and New York during the 1950s and 1960s. This thesis provides the first survey of Sylvester’s entire output as an art critic across different media and genres, and makes a case for him as a commentator of comparable significance to Roger Fry, Herbert Read, and other British critics who have already received significant scholarly attention.

  • Germaine Richier – Sculptrice
    Germaine Richier – Sculptrice 1902-1959 La carrière de Germaine Richier a été brève. Ses premières sculptures datent de 1933-34, les dernières de 1959, année de sa mort. Germaine Richier a très tôt mis en place une œuvre personnelle et singulière, remarquée par ses aînés et par les critiques. L’humain est au cœur de sa recherche artistique même lorsqu’elle fait mine de s’en éloigner. Son nom n’est pas familier au grand public comme l’est celui de Camille Claudel ; aussi faut-il rendre hommage à Valérie Da Costa1 dont l’ouvrage intitulé Germaine Richier, un art entre deux mondes permet au lecteur de circuler avec quelques clés d’interprétation au milieu des principales œuvres de Germaine Richier. Mon exposé emprunte beaucoup à ce livre. Bien accueillie sur la scène internationale, la sculpture (diapo 2) de Germaine Richier peut être vue à Londres (Tate Modern), à Zurich ( Kunsthaus), aux musées royaux de Bruxelles, à Venise ! Elle a également été présentée au Musée d’Art Moderne de New York en 1955. En France, l’hommage à l’univers singulier de Germaine Richer s’est exprimé par l’exposition rétrospective du Musée national d’art moderne en 1956, de son vivant ce qui est exceptionnel. Ni Matisse, ni Giacometti n’auront eu le même honneur. Aujourd’hui, on peut la découvrir à Montpellier (Musée Fabre), à Rennes (Musée des Beaux-arts), à Arles (Musée Réattu) à Saint-Etienne (Musée d’Art moderne) à Grenoble, à Antibes (musée Picasso) et à Paris (Centre Georges Pompidou et jardin des Tuileries). La liste des sites d’exposition n’est pas exhaustive.

Hauser & Wirth Somerset is a pioneering world-class gallery and multi-purpose arts centre, which provides a destination for experiencing art, architecture and the remarkable Somerset landscape through new and innovative exhibitions of contemporary art. A landscaped garden, designed for the gallery by internationally renowned landscape architect Piet Oudolf and the Radić Pavilion (the Serpentine Gallery 2014 Pavilion), designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radić, both sit behind the galleries. This publication is designed for teachers and students, to be used alongside their visit to the exhibition. It provides an introduction to the artist Elisabeth Frink, identifies the key themes of her work, methods of practise and makes reference to some of the contexts in which her practice can be understood. It offers activities that can be carried out during a visit to the gallery and topics for discussion and additional research. The exhibition ‘Transformation’ focuses on a selection of Frink’s distinctive bronzes produced in the 1950s and 1960s as well as works from the 1980s, alongside a series of drawings that highlight the artist’s skill as a draughtsman. The works are displayed in the Rhoades and Bourgeois Galleries. Outside in the Cloisters Courtyard are some of Frink’s most important sculptures from her later life, including the celebrated Riace figures. 2 Elisabeth Frink with ABOUT ELISABETH FRINK Birdman c.1960 Elisabeth Frink was born in 1930 in Thurlow, from America towards assemblage, or pop art.

  • Germaine Richier. Retrospective
    Germaine Richier. Retrospective November 29 2013 to April 6 2014 Germaine Richier (1902 – 1959) once said about her art that hu- manity alone counted. No exhibition showing the developments of sculpture in the 20th century dares to overlook her work. Despite this, Germaine Richier is an exception to the rule as an artist. Her entire body of work is focused on humankind and ways of present- ing it appropriately. Richier explored the tradition of figurative sculpture in Paris as a pri- vate student of Antoine Bourdelle. From the 1940s onwards she pur- sued a highly independent and outstandingly manifold artistic path, spending periodic sojourns in Switzerland. It is therefore not easy to find a neat label to sum up her work. Like Alberto Giacometti with whom she studied together in Bour- delle’s studio, Richier is viewed by some as a representative of ex- Room 1: Germaine Richier and the Figural Tradition istentialism. The wires constituting the structural framework of her Raum 2: Germaine Richier and the Divine in Humanity cracked and fissured figures, which reduce man to his existence Room 3: Germaine Richier and Existentialism alone, support such an interpretation. Richier, for her part, felt a Room 4: Germaine Richier and Surrealism close affinity to surrealism. Her Nachtmenschen (Nocturnal People), Room 5: Germaine Richier and Nature Gottesanbeterinnen (Praying Mantes) and uncanny hybrid creatures Room 6: Germaine Richier, Color and Technique of women and amphora seem born of the very unconscious that the Room 7: Germaine Richier and the Game of Life surrealists were in pursuit of. Germaine Richier is renowned especially for her insect women, hybrid Room 1: Germaine Richier and the Figural Tradition figures of ants, grasshoppers and spiders with human extremities, From 1920 to 1926 Germaine Richier studied in Montpellier under faces and breasts.

  • Artforum.Com / Critics' Picks
    Germaine Richier DOMINIQUE LEVY 909 Madison Avenue February 27–April 12 Though in her heyday she was more prominent than fellow bronze sculptor Alberto Giacometti, Germaine Richier has not had an exhibition in New York since 1957. This two-gallery retrospective rectifies that lapse in decisive fashion, reestablishing Richier (1902–1959) as one of the most pivotal figures in avant-garde European sculpture in the decade following World War II. The forty-six works here, from early nudes to strange late polychrome experiments, foreshadow a whole postwar generation:: the Nouveau Réalisme of Niki de Saint Phalle, the melancholy humanoids of Lynn Chadwick and Hans Josephsohn, and the body-centered work of Alina Szapocznikow. Yet even as Richier’s sculptures scream their influence, they also stand utterly autonomous, with a force and gravity that belie their age. Richier, classically trained when such education was not easy for women, left wartime France for Switzerland in 1939. She began creating patinated bronze figures of humans and insects—ants, grasshoppers, cicadas—whose rough surfaces bear scars and indentations, and whose bodies often have bloated stomachs or stand tangled in linear webs. Often read as an index of wartime trauma, the brutalized, pockmarked surfaces also destroy expectations of female delicacy and beauty. They testify to a European civilization at its frailest, and evoke not only the existential impressions of Jean-Paul Sartre (a Giacometti advocate) but also a more general Christian “man of sorrows,” whose scars bespeak an unbridgeable division between body and soul. Germaine Richier, Le Berger des Landes Shepherd of the Land, 1951, dark patinated Richier’s art is less elegant and far more disquieting than bronze, 58 5/8 x 35 x 23 5/8".
