  • Artaud Versus Kant: Annihilation of the Imagination in Deleuze's Philosophy of Cinema1
    CINEMA 6! 137 ARTAUD VERSUS KANT: ANNIHILATION OF THE IMAGINATION IN DELEUZE’S PHILOSOPHY OF CINEMA1 Jurate Baranova (Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences) Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) present two different poles of the possibility of thought: 1) that of critical sharpness and 2) a possible inability to concen- trate on thinking at all. The first author is known as a famous critic of all forms of reason, whereas the second stands out as the author of the theatre of cruelty, a poet, playwright, es- sayist, novelist, theatre and film actor, producer, theoretician of the theatre, and artist who spent about nine years in various asylums, diagnosed with schizophrenical delirium. How it is possible for them to have some relation at all? Philosophy is a paradox, writes Deleuze in Difference and Repetition. These two, at the first sight incommensurable thinkers, as Michel Foucault would have said — meet at the realm of discourse — in the philosophy of Deleuze. In 1963, Deleuze published the book Kant’s Critical Philosophy (La philosophie critique de Kant). He never wrote a book or any special text on Artaud as, for instance, Jacques Derrida did in “La Parole soufflée,” “Le Théâtre de la cruauté et la clôture de la représentation,”2 and “For- cener le subjectile.”3 Adrian Morfee nevertheless made a hasty conclusion when he re- proached Deleuze for “grandiloquent championing of Artaud in his article “Le Schizophrène et le mot,” where he declares he would not sacrifice one page of Artaud for all of Carroll, in fact only half a page out of fifteen are given over to discussing Artaud.

Oil on canvas, 20 x 24 inches (50.8 x 61 cm) © Man Ray 2015 Trust / Artists Rights Society (ARS), NY / ADAGP, Paris 2021. Vito Schnabel Gallery, in New York, is hosting the historical different media types (including painting, photography, exhibition Man Ray & Picabia. This show brings together collage, and sculpture,) although he considered himself a two of the most legendary artists of the avant-garde and painter. In Paris, he joined the Dadaist group and became essential contributors to the Dada movement. It runs well known for his photography (his subjects included through May 15, 2021. some of the biggest names in the art world, including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Peggy Guggenheim, Gertrude Stein, Man Ray & Picabia focuses on nine carefully selected and Jean Cocteau). However, he abandoned the medium for paintings produced between the late 1920s and mid-1950s painting in 1937. (some of which have not been on display to the public for decades.) Both artists did meet briefly in 1915 (Marcel Francis Picabia (1879-1953) was a French artist specializing Duchamp introduced them). Still, the dialogue presented in in painting, poetry, and typography. Like Man Ray, he was the exhibition is an imaginary one between the two, one one of the central figures in the Dada movement.

  • Art on the Page
    Art on the page Toward a modern illustrated book When Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard issued his first publication, Parallèlement, in 1900, a collection of poems by Paul Verlaine illustrated with lithographs by Impressionist painter Pierre Bonnard, he ushered in a new form of illustrated book to mark the new century. In the following decades, he and other entrepreneurial art publishers such as Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and Albert Skira would take advantage of a widening pool of book collectors interested in modern art by producing deluxe books that featured original prints by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, André Derain and others. These books are generally referred to as livres des artistes and, unlike the fine press publications produced by the Kelmscott Press, the Doves Press or Ashendene Press, the earliest examples were distinguished by their modernity. Breon Mitchell, in his introduction to Beyond illustration, argues that the livre d’artiste can be differentiated from the traditional book in several respects: The illustrations are, in each case, original works of art (woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, engravings) executed by the artist himself and printed under his supervision. The book thus contains original graphics of the kind which find their place on museum walls … The livre d’artiste is also defined by the stature of the artist. Virtually every major painter and sculptor of the twentieth century—Picasso, Braque, Ernst, Matisse, Kokoschka, Barlach, Miró, to name a few—has collaborated in the creation of one or more such works. In many cases, book illustration has occupied such an important place in the total oeuvre of the artist that no student of art history can safely ignore it.

  • The Dismembered Body in Antonin Artaud's Surrealist Plays
    CHAPTER TWO THE DISMEMBERED BODY IN ANTONIN ARTAUD’S SURREALIST PLAYS THOMAS CROMBEZ In two of his surrealist plays, Antonin Artaud inserted a scene where human limbs rain down on the stage. The beginning of Le Jet de sang (The Spurt of Blood, 1925) features a young couple pathetically declaring their love for one another, when suddenly a hurricane bursts, two stars collide, and “a series of legs of living flesh fall down, together with feet, hands, heads of hair, masks, colonnades, portals, temples, and distilling flasks”1 (Artaud 1976a, 71). In a later scenario prepared for the Theatre of Cruelty project, La Conquête du Mexique (The Conquest of Mexico, 1933), the volley of human limbs is echoed almost verbatim. Human limbs, cuirasses, heads, and bellies fall down from all levels of the stage set, like a hailstorm that bombards the earth with supernatural explosions.2 (Artaud 1979, 23) These literal and, according to the theatrical conventions of the day, almost unstageable instances of “dismemberment in drama” point to a distinctive characteristic of Artaud’s work. He seemed to strive for a purely mental drama, to be staged for the enjoyment of the mind’s eye. The distinctly appropriative method he employed to write his mental play- texts may be labeled, borrowing an expression from Alfred Jarry studies, as “the systematically wrong style” (Jarry 1972, 1158). This expression has already proven its worth as the most concise term for Jarry’s linguistically grotesque plays, composed of Shakespearean drama, vulgar talk, heraldic language, archaisms, and corny schoolboy humor. The first part of my essay considers why the standard poststructuralist interpretation of Artaud’s œuvre is unable to provide a strictly literal reading of the human body parts that litter the stage.

    The Lost Prophet of Cinema: The Film Theory of Antonin Artaud 12/28/07 9:54 PM contents great directors cteq annotations top tens about us links archive search The Lost Prophet of Cinema: The Film Theory of Antonin Artaud by Lee Jamieson Lee Jamieson is a lecturer in Theatre Studies at Stratford- upon-Avon College, England. His book, Antonin Artaud: From Theory to Practice, was published by Greenwich Exchange in May 2007 and covers the theatre work of this influential practitioner. He is currently directing Threshold, a site-specific theatre performance for Tensile Theatre in the UK. In the cinema I have always distinguished a quality peculiar to the secret movement and matter of images. The cinema has an unexpected and Antonin Artaud in Napoléon mysterious side which we find in no other form of art. – Antonin Artaud (1) On 4 March 1948, the body of Antonin Artaud was discovered at the foot of his bed. Before long, French film magazines were inundated with tender obituaries, commemorating his long acting career. Having appeared in more than twenty films between 1924 and 1935, Artaud was a renowned film actor, performing in many of the period’s most influential films including Abel Gance’s Napoléon (1926), Carl Th. Dreyer’s La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc, 1927), and Fritz Lang’s Liliom (1933). Ironically, Artaud felt humiliated by his film-acting career. He regarded it as a necessary source of income with which to fund his more avant-garde poetry, theatre and film projects. As a writer and critic, Artaud despised the commercialisation of cinema, instead promoting his own radical concept.

  • The Artwork Caught by the Tail*
    The Artwork Caught by the Tail* GEORGE BAKER If it were married to logic, art would be living in incest, engulfing, swallowing its own tail. —Tristan Tzara, Manifeste Dada 1918 The only word that is not ephemeral is the word death. To death, to death, to death. The only thing that doesn’t die is money, it just leaves on trips. —Francis Picabia, Manifeste Cannibale Dada, 1920 Je m’appelle Dada He is staring at us, smiling, his face emerging like an exclamation point from the gap separating his first from his last name. “Francis Picabia,” he writes, and the letters are blunt and childish, projecting gaudily off the canvas with the stiff pride of an advertisement, or the incontinence of a finger painting. (The shriek of the commodity and the babble of the infant: Dada always heard these sounds as one and the same.) And so here is Picabia. He is staring at us, smiling, a face with- out a body, or rather, a face that has lost its body, a portrait of the artist under the knife. Decimated. Decapitated. But not quite acephalic, to use a Bataillean term: rather the reverse. Here we don’t have the body without a head, but heads without bodies, for there is more than one. Picabia may be the only face that meets our gaze, but there is also Metzinger, at the top and to the right. And there, just below * This essay was written in the fall of 1999 to serve as a catalog essay for the exhibition Worthless (Invaluable): The Concept of Value in Contemporary Art, curated by Carlos Basualdo at the Moderna Galerija Ljubljana, Slovenia.
