Bernard Buffet
Bernard Buffet (1928 ndash; 1999) is an artist who was once feted as being one of France's most important painters and the legitimate successor of Picasso. As the 'painter of existentialism' and the man who found the images to describe post-War sensitivities, Buffet's works had a visual presence and renown in West Europe that almost no other painter has achieved since. This immense popularity in the 1950s and 1960s was followed by critics and the institutional art world both rejecting his work most incisively. The vitriolic tone of this rejection intimates that Buffet should be considered someone who was suppressed rather than forgotten. He hardly varied his distinctive, expressive style through the decades and with it Bernard Buffet transformed an inconceivable number of themes, be they violent or trivial, into paintings. Edited by Udo Kittelmann, this is the first monograph on Buffet in many years and it re-positions the artist back into the art world. English, German and French text.
Dematerialization and the Social Materiality of Art
In Dematerialization and the Social Materiality of Art Elize Mazadiego interprets experimental art practices that negated the object’s primacy, developing new materialities rooted in Argentina’s changing social life and transformative experiences of modernization in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Sensory Studies Manifesto
The senses are made, not given. This revolutionary realization has come as of late to inform research across the social sciences and humanities, and is currently inspiring groundbreaking experimentation in the world of art and design, where the focus is now on mixing and manipulating the senses. The Sensory Studies Manifesto tracks these transformations and opens multiple lines of investigation into the diverse ways in which human beings sense and make sense of the world. This unique volume treats the human sensorium as a dynamic whole that is best approached from historical, anthropological, geographic, and sociological perspectives. In doing so, it has altered our understanding of sense perception by directing attention to the sociality of sensation and the cultural mediation of sense experience and expression. David Howes challenges the assumptions of mainstream Western psychology by foregrounding the agency, interactivity, creativity, and wisdom of the senses as shaped by culture. The Sensory Studies Manifesto sets the stage for a radical reorientation of research in the human sciences and artistic practice.
