Claude Monet's Collection of Japanese Prints

Claude Monet’s collection of Japanese prints brings together more than two hundred engravings. It's a collection brought together by the artist according to pictorial criteria that reflect the man in love with lines and colors but also a curious and passionate spirit, concerned about the quality of the proofs, the state and the drawing. The collection is varied and includes some of the famous pieces of Utamaro, Hokusai and Hirsohige but also more rare works of Eiri and Eisho or Sharaku. The interest of this exceptional ensemble is in the absence of certain representations (primitive prints or shungas) in favor of the landscapes so appreciated by Monet. Like his house and garden this collection allows us to discover an intimate Monet different from the legend. His deep affection for these prints is undoubtedly explained by his understanding of these ukiyo engravers who take up their themes to infinity whether it is Mount Fuji for one or the sixty provinces for the other. Hokusai is very close to Monet tirelessly repeating the cathedral of Rouen or drowning his eyes in the contemplation of water lilies. The long-awaited republication of this reference work has enabled the authors Geneviève Aitken and Marianne Delafond, great specialists in the subject, to update their contribution by integrating prints from the collection, but sold or given. It is aimed both at art lovers in Japan and at a wider audience interested in the history of impressionism.

lsamu Noguchi est à la fois sculpteur et designer, attaché à l'artisanat le plus traditionnel comme aux découvertes les plus avant-gardistes, il a évolué, tout au long de sa carrière, entre Orient et Occident. Formé aux États-Unis après une enfance passée au Japon, Noguchi s'installe à Paris en 1927, où il devient l'assistant de Constantin Brancusi, il côtoie les grands noms de l'art moderne tels que Alberto Giacometti, Juan Miró ou encore Alexander Calder qui forgeront sa conception de la matérialité de la sculpture, Il se passionne également pour le rapport entre sculpture, espace et corps, souhaitant "dépasser l'art des objets". Il collabore régulièrement avec le monde du théâtre et de la danse dont les nombreuses archives photographiques reproduites dans l'ouvrage offrent un aperçu de la puissance de ses espaces sculpturaux. Isamu Noguchi est un artiste méconnu en France dont l'œuvre kaléidoscopique en fait l'un des grands acteurs du décloisonnement des arts et de leur intégration dans notre vie quotidienne.

Marguerite Saegesser, American Monotypes

Marguerite Saegesser (1922–2011) achieved fame in the US, her adopted country for many years, where her prints and paintings were repeatedly shown in group and solo exhibitions in California and New York over a period of two decades. In her native Switzerland, however, the artist and her multifaceted oeuvre are yet to be discovered. This book fills this gap, featuring Saegesser’s art with a special focus on the monotype, a printing technique developed in the 17th century and producing only a single original at a time. It also demonstrates how Saegesser, who initially studied sculpture in Lausanne, found her artistic destiny in America. Key to her evolution was San Francisco’s lively art scene of the late 1970s, and in particular the painter Sam Francis, an outstanding representative of action painting and abstract expressionism, who became her friend and precursor. His fascination with the monotype quickly transferred to Saegesser, who soon achieved mastery in it and made a significant contribution to the revival of the historic technique.

Action / Gesture / Paint: a global story of women and abstraction 1940-70

Drawing on the avant-garde movements of both Expressionism and Surrealism, the women of Abstract Expressionism redefined artistic practice as an immersive arena for action, process and consciousness. Their paintings were regarded not as images but as events. Although the movement officially began in mid-century USA, it quickly – through myriad means – spread around the world and became a catalyst for redefining ideas around aesthetics, poetry, philosophy and politics. This new publication, accompanying a major European touring exhibition, will include works by 40 artists from across the globe, from well-known practitioners such as Carmen Herrera, Etel Adnan, Sandra Blow and Helen Frankenthaler, to lesser-known names from countries such as Australia, China, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Mozambique, Romania and Venezuela: women who took up the ideas and methodologies of the movement but endowed them with specific cultural and subjective dimensions.
