Motopomo: the historical-theoretical background to contemporary graphic design practices

Economou, Inge January 2005 (has links)
This study proposes to illustrate that the twentieth century passage from modernity to postmodernity, with its induction of socio-cultural development and attitudinal change, exists as a fundamental means of informing the character of contemporary graphic design practice1. Today, in contrast to the intentions of this study, many appraisals of graphic design work would seem to place too much emphasis on the analyses and evaluation of the stylistic character of creative practices and not enough on the theoretical, historical and attitudinal issues surrounding them. As such, this study attempts to reveal the meaning and moreover the relevance of philosophical, social, cultural and critical theory for contemporary, postmodern graphic design practices. This is done in order to provide graphic designers with a reflective awareness of the structure of the cultural context within which they work, and takes into account twentieth century cultural theory and twentieth century, western graphic design practice, within the framework of the passage from modernity to postmodernity.

Les Voies du dessin : statut et redéfinitions du dessin dans les avant-gardes occidentales des années 1950-1960 / Graphic paths : the status of drawing in western avant-garde movements of the 1950s and 1960s

Daniel, Hugo 28 November 2015 (has links)
L’absence du dessin des histoires de l’art des années 1950-1960 interroge, alors même que des signes de reconnaissance de la part d’artistes comme Rauschenberg, Hesse, Tinguely,Twombly, Beuys, ou Lebel et d’autres acteurs ont pu être observés.Le dessin doit être défini à partir de ses opérations et compris dans sa relation aux autres médiums. Il est donc considéré comme pratique. En mettant en oeuvre une histoire matérielle, culturelle et sociale de l’art, qui s’appuie sur les dessins eux-mêmes, des documents d’archive et des entretiens avec des acteurs de la période, il s’agit de saisir les relations qui font vivre le dessin.Il s’agit d’appréhender la reconnaissance du dessin et sa redéfinition, entre les interrogations des artistes, les évolutions des critiques et les projets des galeristes et commissaires d’exposition pour montrer comment le dessin se comprend comme une réalité complexe, en acte. Le dessin se redéfinit également comme un moyen de manipuler des images qui deviennent pléthoriques. L’histoire de la psychiatrie confère à la pratique du dessin une valeur expérimentale rarement égalée dans l’histoire de l’art. Cette pratique expérimentale découle de son association à la pensée et met au jour une continuité insoupçonnée dans la période. Qu’il s’agisse d’en renforcer l’assimilation à une « origine de l’art », d’en faire la matrice d’un regard et d’une méthode artistique plus générale, ou le lieu marginal d’une expérience spécifique, la pratique du dessin se comprend dans un éventail large de ses réalités. / Drawing is hardly studied in works of art history focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. This fact is all the more surprising that many artists, such as Rauschenberg, Hesse, Tinguely, Twombly, Michaux or Lebel, but also critics, gallerists and curators took notice of the medium at that time.Drawing must be defined according to its operations and analyzed in its relationshipwith other media. It is approached as a practice. This project is based on a material, culturaland social understanding of art history, it relies on the study of drawings, but also on archive documents and interviews with major figures of the period. From the working process of artists, to the changing discourses of critics and therenewed interest of curators and gallerists, drawing is redefined as a complex object. It allows artists to deal with the flow of images that characterizes the 1950s and 1960s. It also takes on an experimental quality because of its association to the thought process. Psychiatrists andartists have used the practice of drawing to better understand the mind. Whether it is used as an origin of art or as a marginal space implying specific experiences, drawing in the 1950sand 1960s is multi-faceted and is studied as such.
