Outside Classical Antiquity, Mystery and Creativity in the Native Apulian Pottery, First Millennium BC

Slatkine, 2022
In ancient Apulia (Puglia in Italian), the Iapygians, the indigenous people who lived on the fringes of the Greek cities, produced a rich pottery that stood apart from that of the colonists. Still relatively little studied and almost unknown outside a narrow circle of specialists, this pottery is astonishingly original. It is characterized by specifi c forms of enigmatic purpose – horned handles, zoomorphic heads with hallucinatory stares, solitary hands, spindly fi gures and polychromy - which plunge us into an unknown world, without savagery, yet very close to nature. Intended to accompany the dead in their tombs, the vases and figurines express a surprising vitality that testifies to a faith in the afterlife.
Although rigorous from an archaeological point of view, this book calls for a preface highlighting the unexpected modernity of this ancient art. The task was undertaken by a member of Picasso’s inner circle. The works presented here form part of a private collection, undoubtedly the most diverse of its kind and most complete on the subject.

Tout au long du XXe siècle et jusqu'à aujourd'hui, des artistes ont contribué à donner une représentation aux sexualités dites « minoritaires » et ont pris part aux combats menés par les communautés LGBTQI+ pour la reconnaissance de leurs droits. Principalement constituée d'œuvres issues des collections du Centre Pompidou, l'exposition « Over the Rainbow » propose une constellation d'œuvres relevant de champs variés, tels que l'imprimé, le film, la photographie ou la chanson, en prise avec la culture populaire. Le catalogue publié à cette occasion rend compte de la variété de ces approches par des essais, des focus thématiques et des notices d'œuvres, articulés avec une chronologie culturelle et sociale.
