Mes cent chefs-d’oeuvre 1907 – 2007 Choix et présentation par Michel Gerard d’une oeuvre pour chaque année qui a marqué l’histoire de l’art etla mémoire collective. Cette présentation est suiviede discussions. Nous commençons par “Les demoisellesd’Avignon” de Picasso, 1907. Une oeuvre pour chaqueannée permet une discussion autour du pourquoi de cechoix (son influence, sa relation à l’Histoire engénéral, à d’autres formes de création de la mêmeépoque). Le choix d’une autre oeuvre de l’année enquestion peut être proposée et ainsi faire rebondir ladiscussion. L’idée centrale est que l’histoire de l’art depuis ledébut de la modernité est traversée par des effets derupture suivi de continuité avant d’autres ruptures.Ce que les historiens de l’art ont nommé des“révolutions” qui ont ouvert des possibilités encoreinsoupçonnées à la peinture comme à d’autres formesd’art (architecture, sculpture, musique, littérature).Par exemple la dernière phase importante de rupture aeue lieu en 1990. On peut...

Message de la part de MICHEL GERARD a propos de la rentree: "J'ai en tete un projet qui me tient a coeur, qui serait "Cent icones de l'art moderne et contemporain".Le choix d'une oeuvre la plus marquante par annee dans l'histoire de l'art de 1907 a 2007. On commence par 1907, rencontre de Braque et Picasso, creation du cubisme et elaboration par ce dernier des "Demoiselles d'Avignon". Un tel projet "Cent Icones", demande une participation active et reguliere, et un dialogue pour les choix et discussions autour de ces choix. On peut envisager peut-etre des choix sur 5 annees par session," Soit une vingtaine de reunions dans l'annee.QU'EN PENSEZ VOUS?

Le 12 Octobre, nous avons rendez-vous a la Barnes Foundation et ensuite avec un peintre dont le studio est juste a coté et qui nous accueille pour nous présenter ses oeuvres. Vous pouvez en avance vous faire une idée de son travail en consultant son site internet ou venir a la maison a la rentrée pour en admirer quelques unes.
