Jan Fabre, born in Antwerp in 1958, is one of the most innovative and versatile artists of his generation. Over the past 30 years, he has produced work as a visual artist, performance artist, director and author, expanding the horizons of every genre. Homo Faber is the first comprehensive overview to deal with all aspects of Fabre's visual art. It discusses key themes and ideas in his performance, drawing, sculpture, installation, photography and film work, including the concept of metamorphosis, his use of human bones and echoes of the Old Masters in his work. This volume covers the whole of Fabre's artistic career, starting from works of the 1970s and 80s, when he exhibited himself in a shop window and staged performances in which he burned spectators' money and leading up to his most recent sculptural still lifes of owls' heads and Pushpin Men.
Une analyse de l'oeuvre du peintre à travers ses sources, ses influences, sa postérité, et sa confrontation avec l'ensemble de l'histoire de l'art. Quelques tableaux glorieux comme L'Escarpolette, Les Progrès de l'amour, Le Verrou, donnent à jamais l'idée d'un illustrateur des moeurs. Mais Fragonard fut aussi le peintre des Vieillards et un merveilleux dessinateur de paysages. A travers près de 400 illustrations, Jean-Pierre Cuzin et Dimitri Salmon explorent l'œuvre, les sources et la postérité de Fragonard. De Manet à Matisse, de Chirico à Giacometti, et de Kinka Shonibare à Glenn Brown, nombre de ses successeurs ont copié et interprété le grand peintre dans des analogies, transpositions, hommages et clins d'œil qui renouvellent le regard que l'on porte sur l'artiste
Apparently, the Louvre has a new policy of showing bits of contemporary art but, until now, they have been small, mixed shows taking not much space. Now, for its first solo show by a living artist, it has chosen a Belgian, Jan Fabre, and given him the whole of the Northern School wing - 40 rooms containing top-notch van Eycks, Bruegels, Rembrandts, Rubenses, Vermeers - to play with. He was allowed to move pictures and rearrange rooms to place his work among the Old Masters.
Includes subject section, name section, and 1968-1970, technical reports.
