VAN GOGH ARLES

Prix public : 30,00 €

Van Gogh and Duchamp: two names, two monuments in the history of twentieth-century art, charged with the intensity of a repulsive magnet. Or would this be valid only for those imprisoned in clichés? Conceptual art has established itself up as an antidote to expressiveness. For several decades already, excessive and exalted subjectivity in art has been rejected and denied. But today both emotion and immediacy are seditiously reappearing. Would the names of Van Gogh and Duchamp be synonymous with hot and cold? Existential effervescence versus intellectual sovereignty? Popular (accessible) art versus sophisticated (elitist) art? Painting versus anti-painting? Pictorial spaces invaded by energy versus strategically manipulated objects? “Van Gogh—Duchamp: Oil & Water?” is the first of a series of symposiums devoted to Vincent van Gogh. The proceedings of this colloquium—devised and held in Arles—present contributors' talks and discussions, juxtaposing historical, cultural and sociological positions, as well as determined artistic approaches and practices. The rich diversity of the iconographic documentation of these proceedings reflects the magnetic attraction of these two great names.
