Depuis son apparition au d but du XIXe si cle jusqu?au milieu du XXe si cle, le train a constitu un sujet d?int r t pour les artistes. Ses repr sentations font cho aux poques et aux sensibilit s qui s?y expriment. Elles figurent l?angoisse et l?enthousiasme pour un monde nouveau, industriel, lanc pleine vitesse mais d sormais hors de contr le. Elles tudient la gare et la ville qui se repense pour l?accueillir, les lieux nouveaux associ s la possibilit ? tout aussi nouvelle ? de voyager. Les artistes se fascinent pour les lumi res et les volutes de vapeur. Ils se laissent hypnotiser par la vitesse et la toute-puissance de l?engin ; ils soulignent la beaut plastique de ses courbes, les pistons et la merveilleuse m canique. Ils repr sentent l?outil et le fantasme, les pieds sur terre ou la t te dans l?univers onirique du voyage et de l?aventure int rieure. Voies de la modernit , l'exposition phare aux Mus es royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique se tiendra du 15 octobre 2021 au 13 f vrier 2022 et fait partie du festival 'EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS'. 0 g.
