Georges Rouault and Material Imagining: Material Culture of Art and Design

Autor Dr. Jennifer Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2023
This book considers questions of materiality and painting, focalized through the notoriously obscure work of Georges Rouault, and offers an innovative critical approach to the various questions raised by this challenging modernist. Described as a difficult and dark painter, Rouault's oeuvre is deeply experimental. Images of the circus emerge from a plethora of chaotic marks, while numerous landscapes appear as if ossified in thick paint.Rouault's work explodes the genre of painting, drawing upon the residue of Gustave Moreau's symbolism, the extremities of Fauvism, and the radical theatrical experiments of Alfred Jarry. The repetitions and re-workings at the heart of Rouault's process defy conventional chronological treatment, and place the emphasis upon the coming-into-being of the work of art. Ultimately, the book reveals the process of making as both a search for understanding and a response to the problematic world of the 20th century.

Recenzii

Jennifer Johnson's ground-breaking study offers a new, comprehensive account of the world and work of Georges Rouault. Elegant prose, rich formal description, and bold theoretical insights reveal the crucial role of materiality as a form of thought in modern art.
In a narrative full to bursting with luminous visual analyses and exciting passages of contextualisation, Jennifer Johnson presents us with a new vision and understanding of Georges Rouault, an artist who has languished for too long on the outskirts of Modernism. A truly captivating book.
Jennifer Johnson's book is a timely and important exploration of Rouault's probing relationship with questions of materiality and meaning. It is a serious and powerful contribution to a central art-historical issue, the material character of making as a form of understanding.
In Jennifer Johnson's reading of Rouault's surfaces, meaning accrues in a richly layered manner. Drawing upon theorists and philosophies-both contemporaneous and more recent-Johnson returns the reader to Rouault's thick, reworked, slabs of paint with new understandings of how the artist grappled with questions at the heart of modernism through his subjects, materials, and making.
