More than that of any other modern people French art is a national expression. It epitomizes very definitely the national æsthetic judgment and feeling, and if its manifestations are even more varied than are elsewhere to be met with, they share a certain character that is very salient. Of almost any French picture or statue of any modern epoch one's first thought is that it is French. The national quite overshadows the personal quality. In the field of the fine arts, as in nearly every other in which the French genius shows itself, the results are evident of an intellectual co operation which insures the development of a common standard and tends to subordinate idiosyncrasy. The fine arts, as well as every other department of mental activity, reveal the effect of that social instinct which is so much more powerful in France than it is anywhere else, or has ever been elsewhere, except possibly in the case of the Athenian republic. Add to this influence that of the intellectual as distinguished from the sensuous instinct, and one has, I think, the key to this salient characteristic of French art which strikes one so sharply and always as so plainly French. As one walks through the French rooms at the Louvre, through the galleries of the Luxembourg, through the unending rooms of the Salon he is impressed by the splendid competence everywhere displayed, the high standard of culture universally attested, by the overwhelming evidence that France stands at the head of the modern world æsthetically but not less, I think, does one feel the absence of imagination, opportunity, of spirituality, of poetry in a word. The French themselves feel something of this. At the great Exposition of 1889 no pictures were so much admired by them as the English, in which appeared, even to an excessive degree, just the qualities in which French art is lacking, and which less than those of any other school showed traces of the now all but universal influence of French art. The most distinct and durable impression left by any exhibition of French pictures is that the French æsthetic genius is at once admirably artistic and extremely little poetic. [mehr]

Eileen McHugh - a life remade - is a novel about a sculptor whose creative life ended in the 1970s. She left no work, but now an archive of her notes and sketches has come into the possession of Mary Reynolds, who is determined to resurrect the artist's life and reconstruct her work. She contacts people who knew Eileen as a child and as a student in London. She follows the artist on a hippie trip to Thailand. Via these partial memories, she recreates the artist and her work. Let us imagine an artist who struggled to complete anything, left near-unintelligible notes and was probably incompetent in the use of materials. This was an artist who found any focus hard to maintain, who seemed to dabble in multiple forms and spread apparently undisciplined attention so thinly across a multitude of whim-driven activities that hardly any project came to fruition. Picture a corpus of surviving works that only just creeps into double figures, some of which are dubiously attributed, while others may have been reworked by other hands. And imagine a signature work so incompetently produced it is literally disintegrating whilst, in that same room on a facing wall, there exists another work, largely unknown, by a different artist, who has remained almost anonymous, despite producing something that is arguably as beautiful and technically superior to its neighbour. If asked to assess, how might contemporary viewers, coming to this body of work for the first time, judge its worth or its creator’s achievement? And how might we judge another artist who has left just one work, which exists only in reproduction as a contemporary photograph, taken in the few moments the work existed? But this artist, we now discover, left a variety of notes, descriptions and indications of materials to be used that are sufficient to reconstruct lost works. Is it not our duty to remake this life’s work, to recreate this legacy that might enrich lives, change perceptions and reinterpret experience? This artist is called Eileen McHugh. The previous, unfocused incompetent was called Leonardo da Vinci. But where might I begin to remake the life and work of an artist like Eileen? We have no works, no studies or even failed projects awaiting reassembly. We know little of her undocumented life, whose destination remained unknown even to her own mother. But we all leave our own marks on time. Identifying them is the challenge, and then describing them becomes possible. Once reassembled, we might then remake Eileen McHugh’s life and reconstruct her works to enrich our collective experience. But where to start? London, of course, changed everything. [mehr]

In diesem Bildband werden Abbildungen fiktiver Kunstwerke vorgestellt.Die Bilder sind nach einer Textvorgabe durch ein lernfähiges Programm erstellt worden. Die Bilder sind mit Titeln sowie Beschreibungen versehen, wobei dies keineswegs die Textvorgaben an das erstellende Programm waren.Im Sinne von ‚ready mades‘ wird ein Bild ausgewählt, benannt sowie beschrieben, damit zum Kunstwerk auserwählt, welches aus dem ursprünglichen Konzept der Textvorgabe als Profanobjekt entstanden ist. In diesem Band geht es um die dunkle Seite der Kunst, also um Skulpturen rund um die Textvorgabe ‚Dunkle Materie‘ – nicht, daß derzeit jemand genau wüßte, aus was diese genau besteht, noch kann man sie eigentlich sehen, was einen echten Künstler allerdings nicht davon abhalten kann, seine Vorstellungen daran zu verlieren.Ferner ist es ja auch plausibel, daß die Dunkle Materie ein sichtbarer Mantel normaler Materie umgibt, welche dem Geheimnis damit Form und Gestalt gäbe. 151 Abbildungen enthalten._____________________ This picture book presents illustrations of fictitious works of art.The images have been created according to a text specification by an adaptive programme. The pictures are provided with titles as well as descriptions, although these were by no means the text specifications for the creating programme.In the sense of 'ready mades', a picture is selected, named and described, thus chosen as a work of art, which has emerged from the original concept of the text as a profane object. This volume is about the dark side of art, meaning sculptures around the textual premise 'Dark Matter' - not that anyone currently knows exactly what this consists of, nor can one actually see it, although this cannot stop a real artist from losing his ideas about it.Furthermore, it is also plausible that dark matter is surrounded by a visible mantle of normal matter, which would give form and shape to the mystery. Contains 151 images. [mehr]
