William Blake, la divine comédie de Dante
Sebastian Schütze, Maria Antonietta Terzoli
Taschen, 2017
ISBN 9783836568623
Sebastian Schütze, Maria Antonietta Terzoli
Taschen, 2017
La Divine Comédie de Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), achevée en 1321, est considérée comme un chef-d'œuvre de la littérature mondiale et l'œuvre la plus importante en langue italienne. Le poème raconte le voyage d'un homme à travers l'enfer, le purgatoire et le paradis, tout en représentant aussi le parcours de l'âme jusqu'à Dieu. Au cours des dernières années de sa vie, le poète et artiste romantique William Blake (1757-1827) a réalisé 102 illustrations du chef-d'œuvre de Dante, allant des esquisses au crayon aux aquarelles très travaillées. À l'image du grand poème de Dante, les dessins de Blake décrivent aussi bien les tourments de l'enfer que la béatitude du paradis, les horribles mutilations des damnés que la beauté divine des rachetés. Tout en restant fidèle au texte, Blake a enrichi quelques-uns des thèmes centraux de Dante de sa propre interprétation. Aujourd'hui, les illustrations de Blake, plus ou moins achevées à sa mort, sont dispersées dans sept institutions différentes. Cette publication de TASCHEN les rassemble à nouveau, en vis-à-vis de passages clé extraits du chef d'oeuvre de Dante. Deux essais liminaires présentent Dante et Blake, ainsi que d'autres artistes majeurs inspirés par La Divine Comédie, parmi lesquels Sandro Botticelli, Michel-Ange, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Doré et Auguste Rodin. Grâce à une lecture attentive des illustrations de Blake et aux 14 dépliants qui en révèlent les détails les plus délicats, cet ouvrage instaure un fascinant dialogue entre deux des plus grands artistes de l'histoire, et aborde des thèmes aussi universels que l'amour, la culpabilité, le châtiment, la vengeance et la rédemption.

William Kentridge
Distributed Art Publishers, 2022
This far-reaching book presents Kentridge's dynamic art practice, which originates in charcoal drawing and expands into intersections with film, sculpture, opera and theater performances, printmaking and many other mediums. The volume is organized chronologically and thematically, emphasizing Kentridge's destabilizing of South African and global narratives through openness to uncertainty, the generative power of the artist's studio and perpetual change, all as conditions for illuminating repressed and silenced voices in historical records.
An essay by curator Ed Schad is presented along with studio photography, archival material and illuminating illustrations of Kentridge's work, joining essays by globally recognized literary figures and thinkers Zakes Mda and Ann McCoy. Notably, the volume features a conversation between Kentridge and the famous film and sound editor Walter Murch, as well as a never-before-published lecture by the artist.
