Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1822. In-4, XXXII-214 p., basane vert bronze époque, dos lisse, auteur et titre dorés, filet doré, tranches marbrées (dos insolé, fentes aux mors, taches aux plats). Édition originale, illustrée de deux planches lithographiques dépliantes et de 24 pages d’idéogrammes. L’ouvrage contient en outre de très nombreux idéogrammes (bois gravés) in-texte. Impression sur papier fort. Abel Rémusat réalisa dans cet ouvrage la première grammaire chinoise qui fut enfin utilisable. Il distingue scrupuleusement la langue vernaculaire (le mandarin) et le chinois littéraire. Travail philologique remarquable, et a contrario des études antérieures, Rémusat n’imposa aucun modèle occidental à la langue chinoise. L’intéressante préface établit une bibliographie des études de la langue chinoise. En 1814 on créa une chaire de chinois au Collège de France pour Rémusat. Voir la reproduction. 200 / 300 € 2.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • Franciszka Themerson Lines and Thoughts Paintings, Drawings, Calligrammes
    ! 44a Charlotte Road, London, EC2A 3PD Franciszka Themerson Lines and Thoughts paintings, drawings, calligrammes 4 November - 16 December 2016 ____________________ Private View: 3 November 6.30 - 8.30 pm Calligramme XXIII (‘fossil’),1961 (?), Black, gold and red paint on paper, 52 x 63.5cm, © Themerson Estate, courtesy of l’étrangère. " It seemed to me that the interrelation between these two sides: order in nature on the one side, and the human condition on the other, was the undefinable drama to be grasped, dealt with and communicated by me. - Franciszka Themerson, Bi-abstract Pictures, 1957 l’étrangère is delighted to present a solo exhibition of paintings, drawings and calligrammes by Franciszka Themerson - a seminal figure in the Polish pre-war avant-garde. She developed her unique pictorial language during the shifting years of pre- and post-war Europe, having settled in Britain in 1943. Together with her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker, Stefan Themerson, she was involved with experimental film and avant-garde publishing. Her personal domain, however, focused on painting, drawing, theatre sets and costume design. This exhibition brings together Franciszka’s three paintings completed in 1972 and a selection of drawings, dated from 1955 to 1986, which demonstrate the breadth of her work. ! The paintings: Piétons Apocalypse, A Person I Know and Coil Totem, act as anchors in the exhibition, while the drawings demonstrate the variety of motifs recurring throughout her work. The act of drawing and the key role of the line remain a constant throughout her practice. The images are characterised by a fluidity of line, rhythmic composition and the humorous depiction of everyday life.

Press release Comrade of Édouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard when all three were studying art, Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was a painter and major theoretician of modern French art at the turn of the 20th century. This show – the first dedicated to the artist in Switzerland in 50 years – focuses on the early years of Denis’s career. The novel visual experiments of the “Nabi of the beautiful icons” gave way to the serene splendor of the symbolist works, followed by the bold decision to return to classicism. This event, which features nearly 90 works, is organised with the exceptional support of the Musée d'Orsay and thanks to loans from Europe and the United States. Maurice Denis remains famous for the watchword he devised in 1890, “Remember that a painting – before being a warhorse, a nude woman, or some anecdote or other – is basically a plane surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order.” Beyond this manifesto, the breadth and depth of his pictorial output make clear the ambitions of a life completely devoted to art, love, and spirituality.

Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was an important, though beguiling, figure in European Post-Impressionism. Along with Paul Serusier, Eduoard Vuillard, and Paul Bonnard, Denis was a founding member of Les Nabis, a group of influential French artists who laid the groundwork for Cubism, Fauvism, and Abstractionism in the decades to come. Bucolique d’Automne or L’Heureaux Verger Pouldu (Fig. 1) is a large oil painting depicting two female figures, along with four small children, in varying states of undress, lazing in a fruit tree orchard in Autumn. This type of idealized depiction of women in gardens, often picking or eating fruit, was common among French artists in the 19th century. They can be viewed as echoes of a longstanding fascination among European artists and poets with depictions of pastoral idyll. Friedrich Schiller describes this fascination thusly: … this kind of pleasure in regard to nature is not aesthetical, but rather moral; for it is produced by means of an idea, not immediately through contemplation; also, it by no means depends upon the beauty of forms.

  • Ubu Roi Short FINAL
    media contact: erica lewis-finein brightbutterfly[at]hotmail.com CUTTING BALL THEATER CONTINUES 15TH SEASON WITH “UBU ROI” January 24-February 23, 2014 In a new translation by Rob Melrose SAN FRANCISCO (December 16, 2013) – Cutting Ball Theater continues its 15th season with Alfred Jarry’s UBU ROI in a new translation by Rob Melrose. Russian director Yury Urnov (Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company) helms this irreverent take on world leaders. Featuring David Sinaiko, Ponder Goddard, Marilet Martinez, Bill Boynton, Nathaniel Justiniano, and Andrew Quick, UBU ROI plays January 24 through February 23 (Press opening: January 30) at the Cutting Ball Theater in residence at EXIT on Taylor (277 Taylor Street) in San Francisco. For tickets ($10-50) and more information, the public may visit cuttingball.com or call 415-525-1205. When Alfred Jarry’s UBU ROI premiered in Paris on December 10, 1896, the audience broke into a riot at the utterance of its first word. Jarry’s parody of Shakespeare’s Macbeth defies theatrical tradition through its disregard for audience expectations, replacing Shakespeare’s tragic hero with a greedy, sadistic ogre who becomes the King of Poland by force and through the debasement of his people. Set in a modern luxury kitchen, this re-visioned UBU ROI features a wealthy American couple who play out their fantasies of wealth and power to excess as they take on the roles of Mother and Father Ubu. Cutting Ball’s version of UBU ROI may bring to mind the fall from grace of many a contemporary political leader corrupted by power, from Elliot Spitzer to Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

    Eduard Vuillard: Exploring the Limits of Intimism Belinda Thomson Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s “Femmes de Maison”: The “Back” Story Richard Thomson April 1, 2010 Dallas Museum of Art Horchow Auditorium Olivier Meslay: Good evening, and welcome the Dallas Museum of Art’s Late Night and to this evening’s lecture. I am Olivier Meslay, Senior Curator for European and American Art and the Barbara Thomas Lemmon Curator for European Art here at the DMA, and it’s my privilege to introduce you to tonight’s speakers, Belinda and Richard Thomson, as part of our Richard R. Brettell Lecture Series. Richard and Belinda Thomson will speak not together, but successively. They will enlighten us, commenting on works from the collection of another formidable couple, Wendy and Emery Reves, as part of a year-long celebration of the jubilee of the Reves Collections coming to Dallas Museum of Art. Belinda Thomson is now an independent art historian and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. She curated many exhibitions on both sides of the ocean. Belinda shares with Richard interests for some same artists, but had focused more on the later generation with artists like Vuillard and Bonnard. She will talk tonight on “Vuillard: Exploring the Limits of Intimism.” Vuillard is one of the artists best represented in our collection with six paintings, two in the Reves Collection, one given by Mrs. Margaret McDermott, one given by Mr. and Mrs. Barron Kidd, and another by the Bromberg family and one by the Meadows Foundation. I do not mention the works on paper, drawings, and prints and it would be a real pleasure to learn more about them.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. I am using the terms ‘space’ and ‘place’ in Michel de Certeau’s sense, in that ‘space is a practiced place’ (Certeau 1988: 117), and where, as Lefebvre puts it, ‘(Social) space is a (social) product’ (Lefebvre 1991: 26). Evelyn O’Malley has drawn my attention to the anthropocentric dangers of this theorisation, a problematic that I have not been able to deal with fully in this volume, although in Chapters 4 and 6 I begin to suggest a collaboration between human and non- human in the making of space. 2. I am extending the use of the term ‘ extra- daily’, which is more commonly associated with its use by theatre director Eugenio Barba to describe the per- former’s bodily behaviours, which are moved ‘away from daily techniques, creating a tension, a difference in potential, through which energy passes’ and ‘which appear to be based on the reality with which everyone is familiar, but which follow a logic which is not immediately recognisable’ (Barba and Savarese 1991: 18). 3. Architectural theorist Kenneth Frampton distinguishes between the ‘sceno- graphic’, which he considers ‘essentially representational’, and the ‘architec- tonic’ as the interpretation of the constructed form, in its relationship to place, referring ‘not only to the technical means of supporting the building, but also to the mythic reality of this structural achievement’ (Frampton 2007 [1987]: 375). He argues that postmodern architecture emphasises the scenographic over the architectonic and calls for new attention to the latter. However, in contemporary theatre production, this distinction does not always reflect the work of scenographers, so might prove reductive in this context.

In The Nabis and Intimate Modernism: Painting and the Decorative at the Fin-de-Siècle, Katherine M. Kuenzli fittingly pays special attention to the group’s self-designated role as prophets of modern art, (re)positioning their decorative work of the 1890s as a crucial prelude to post-1900 modernism.[1] Challenging twentieth-century dismissals of the Gesamtkunstwerk—unfairly tainted, the author suggests, by its associations with fascist spectacle, and discounted as crass commercialism by such writers as Theodor Adorno—Kuenzli treats examples of Nabi decoration as serious and ambitious works of art.

Since artists in their studios produce paradigms which are then superseded, the non-linear and heterogeneous development of their work comes to define both the timeless and the changing aspects of their art. At the same time, artists’ experience outside of their workplace significantly affects the way art is made and disseminated. The fate of artworks is bound to the condition of displacement, or, sometimes misplacement, as artists move from place to place, pledging allegiance to the old tradition of the wandering artist. What happened to the drawings and watercolours from the three sketchbooks by the Ukrainian-born artist Alexander Archipenko presented by the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds is a poignant example of such a fate. Executed and presented in several exhibitions before the artist moved from Germany to the United States in the early 1920s, then purchased by a private collector in 1925, these works are now being shown to the public for the first time in this particular grouping.
