Cosa mentale

art et télépathie au XXe siècle

by Pascal Rousseau

  • First published:

  • Language: French

"Loin de rester une obscure fantaisie paranormale, la télépathie ne cesse d'intriguer les artistes tout au long du XXe siècle. Cosa Mentale propose de relire l'aventure de l'art moderne à travers leur fascination pour une transmission directe de la pensée et des émotions. Sous cet angle, le projet de l'avant-garde est moins de défaire le grand mensonge illusionniste de la peinture que d'inventer une nouvelle relation, plus immédiate, entre l'artiste et le spectateur. En s'appuyant sur quelques grandes figures de la modernité, d'Edvard Munch à Sigmar Polke, en passant par Oskar Kokoschka, Odilon Redon, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Frantisek Kupka, Vassily Kandinsky, Salvador Dali et bien d'autres, cet ouvrage montre comment la télépathie aura une influence inattendue sur la naissance des premières formes d'abstraction ou, dans l'entre-deux-guerres, sur un surréalisme obsédé par le partage collectif de la création. Omniprésente dans l'univers de la science-fiction, elle refait surface dans l'art psychédélique et conceptuel des années 1960-1970, avant de resurgir aujourd'hui dans l'univers d'artistes contemporains, envoûtés par les technologies de la "connaissance partagée "."--Page 4 of cover Far from being an obscure paranormal fantasy, telepathy continues to intrigue artists throughout the twentieth century. Cosa Mental considers the adventure of modern art through a fascination for the direct transmission of thought and emotions. From this perspective, the project is less interested in undoing the great illusionist painting than to invent a new relationship, more immediate, between the artist and the viewer. Relying on a few great figures of modernity, Edvard Munch to Sigmar Polke, through Oskar Kokoschka, Odilon Redon, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Frantisek Kupka, Wassily Kandinsky, Salvador Dali and many others, this book shows how telepathy had an unexpected influence on the birth of the first forms of abstraction and, in the interwar period, a surrealism obsessed with the collective sharing of creation. Omnipresent in the world of science fiction, it resurfaced in the psychedelic and conceptual art of 1960-1970, before resurfacing today in the world of contemporary artists, bewitched by technology as "shared knowledge Auras -- Champs magnétiques -- Mind expander -- Télépathie
