Ceysson & Bénétière

The third general Bagarre is devoted to drawing. It includes works various abstract and figurative, which make quite well the concerns of contemporary artists who use this expression vector. There is little, for over a decade, aesthetics dominant, conventions of form and content. The art and its history, or rather accepted human productions as works of art to provide living artists regardless of their culture and origin of the thesaurus used some sort of "book factories" where to draw themes and forms redeveloped for uses contemporaries. The imaginary museum by Malraux dreamed, and that gave to see the photograph, saw his catalog multiply until vertigo and accelerate its spread and expand on an almost unlimited. The only obligations of artists today is to create new and to demonstrate in their technical capacity for their effectiveness in these rearrangements. Hence, perhaps, the vogue, as evidenced by many recent publications, knows that, in recent years, the design now claimed as an independent discipline in the same way as painting, video, photography or installation . Because this self-claimed for centuries was still under the influence of painting or sculpture. It could neither paint nor sculpt without knowing draw, but drawing, even if it could be defined as exposing the object of a painting or sculpture, did not seem to allow themselves to gain the status of masterpiece and final. Today the design is still developing a plan. It still allows the creation of forms, compositions, means and conditions of expression. In their application to current design, some artists release their work as a painter or installer. Others offer both the preparatory drawings for works that report on the market and designed and made drawings as works specific to their very different style. In all cases, what is emphasized is primarily the power of business. What seems to offer a contemporary design is, therefore, a celebration of the hand and a celebration, even if some works are drawn directly on a wall and reach the size of large figurative decorations of yore, a private space, hot, contrasting sharply with the works distanced, cool, video images and photographs. The design shifts in consumption aesthetic statements and publications required number of contemporary works, made for museums and exhibitions / shows, to return to a welcome delight egotist.
