Claude Mercier, Quand Le Métal Fait Signe, when Metal Becomes the Expression

Né en 1924, Claude Mercier est l'un des grands sculpteurs français contemporains. Connu pour ses sculptures en métal, aux formes abstraites convexes et concaves entrelacées à l'infini, il arbore un style singulier, incontournable source d'inspiration pour les générations à venir. Pour la première fois, un ouvrage réunit la plupart de ses oeuvres, commentées par Marie-Odile Van Caeneghem, spécialiste de l'art contemporain. Sculptures monumentales, reliefs, dessins, bijoux... : toutes les formes explorées par Claude Mercier se retrouvent mises en perspective.

"Un catalogue raisonné, c'est la synthèse d'une vie, pas seulement l'inventaire le plus exhaustif possible d'une oeuvre, mais la somme de toutes les recherches, de toutes les émotions, de tous Les "accidents", des erreurs comme des moments de grâce, c'est l'histoire de rencontres, de ruptures, et surtout celle d'un travail immense. À l'origine, Claude aime parler de deux rencontres évidemment déterminantes pour le jeune sculpteur qu'il fut dans le Paris de l'après-guerre, celle avec Henry Moore dans les années 1950 et celle avec Alberto Giacometti, qui encouragea la carrière de l'artiste. Mais aussi admiratif qu'il fut des grands sculpteurs adeptes du modelage dont il croisa très tôt la route, il prit courageusement un chemin très personnel, celui de "l'artisan du métal", s'inscrivant dans un courant novateur mais difficile, poursuivant une quête qui de 1949 à 2017 lui permit d'explorer, du figuratif à l'abstrait, du métal récupéré et soudé au bronze, toutes les expressions d'un matériau qu'il dompta comme nul autre : acier, maillechort, cuivre, laiton, brossé, martelé, patiné dans une savante alchimie."--Page 4 of cover.

Ultra-talk

In Ultra-Talk, David Kirby poses a simple question: What makes a cultural phenomenon truly great? Exploring a wide variety of "king-sized cultural monuments," Kirby argues that one qualification for greatness is that a phenomenon be embraced by both the elite and the general public. Further, he argues, it must be embraced repeatedly over time. Kirby turns his critical eye to subjects that have been studied and written about, sought after avidly, discussed passionately, and even resisted vigorously around the world. Auto racing, Dante, folk music, food, Leonardo da Vinci, films, poetry, religion, striptease, television, and the internet are just some of the topics he examines. In Rome, heads ...
