Georges Rouault and Material Imagining (Material Culture of Art and Design) - Softcover
Book 6 of 18: Material Culture of Art and Design
Synopsis
This book considers questions of materiality and painting, focalized through the notoriously obscure work of Georges Rouault. 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.
Georges Rouault and Material Imagining approaches Rouault in relation to contemporary theories about making and material, examining how he constructs a ‘material consciousness’ that departs from other modern painters. 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 process of making is revealed as both a search for understanding and a response to the problematic world of the 20th century. Georges Rouault and Material Imagining therefore offers an innovative critical approach to the various questions raised by this difficult modernist.
