Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Chu Teh-Chun (1920-2014) est un acteur majeur de la peinture gestuelle abstraite. N en Chine au sein d'une famille d'amateurs d'art, il est form l'Acad mie des beaux-arts mais subit la guerre sino-japonaise, des trag dies familiales, la disparition quasi totale de ses oeuvres de jeunesse puis l'exil - en 1949 vers Ta wan et en 1955 vers Paris, o il s'installe enfin. C'est dans ce cadre apais que son abstraction orageuse voit le jour. Excluant toute g om trie patente, celle-ci est constitu e de n buleuses et autres maelstroms polychromes, model s par de puissants effets de clair-obscur. Atmosph rique et hors chelle, chaque tableau est une matrice o notre vision se projette et s'ab me, nous faisant perdre tout rep re spatial ou s mantique. Nourri de peinture tant classique que moderne, tant asiatique qu'occidentale, Chu formule la sensation mn sique du paysage, l'essence dynamique du geste et le surgissement de la lumi re. La mise en perspective historique, au gr de parall les, analogies et autres r sonances, nous invite cerner la singularit d'un r gime abstrait sous-tendu par la logique organique du vivant, les formes et les forces de la nature, leurs ph nom nes naturels, leur fluidit ruptive et leurs r volutions cosmogoniques. Car Chu s'est longtemps trouv quelque peu en marge de son poque, en raison peut- tre d'une personnalit r serv e et d'un rejet de principe de toute strat gie commerciale. L'objet de cette monographie est donc, l'aune du recul historique et du succ s actuel de l'oeuvre, de qualifier certains de ses enjeux esth tiques et d'aider dissiper quelques malentendus qui ont pu entourer sa r ception. Chu Teh-Chun (1920-2014) is a major figure in the history of gestural abstract painting. Born in China into a family of art lovers, he trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou. Then came the Second Sino-Japanese war, family tragedy, the loss of nearly all his early work, and finally, exile-to Taiwan in 1949, then, in 1955, to Paris, where he settled. This peaceful home witnessed the emergence of his tortured abstraction, devoid of obvious geometry, in which polychrome nebulae and maelstroms clash with violent chiaroscuro effects. Atmospheric, impossible to scale, each painting is an arena into which vision is projected and submerged amid a loss of spatial and semantic bearings. Steeped in painting both classical and modern, Asian and Western, Chu's art recreates the memory of a landscape, the dynamic essence of gesture, and the brilliance of light. This study, by placing his work in its context, using parallels, analogies, and other resonances, focuses on the singularity of his approach to abstraction, underpinned by the organic logic of the living world, by natural phenomena, forms, forces, and by their eruptive fluidity and cosmogonic revolutions. For many years, Chu remained a somewhat marginal figure, perhaps because of his reserved personality and his principled rejection of commercial strategies. Making the most of historical perspective, and in light of the artist's current recognition, this monograph sets out to define some of the aesthetic themes shaping his work and to help dispel some of the misunderstandings that have surrounded its reception. - Nombre de page(s) : 240 - Poids : 1100g - Genre : Peinture / Dessin d'art / Gravure.
