Dans cet essai sollicité par Perspective pour célébrer le vingtième anniversaire de la publication de son livre, Couture Culture: A Study in Modern Art and Fashion (Cambridge, MA, The MIT Press, ...2003), Nancy J. Troy revient sur sa trajectoire intellectuelle, depuis sa formation d'historienne de l'art dans les années 1970 jusqu'à son adhésion, des décennies plus tard, aux études de mode comme un domaine analytique et critique de premier plan, qui ne le cède en rien, par son ambition et son potentiel, à la pensée historique de l'art la plus avancée de l'époque. L'auteure fait référence à de nombreux interlocuteurs pour expliquer comment elle a surmonté son scepticisme initial à l'égard des arts décoratifs et de la mode pour conduire de nouvelles recherches interdisciplinaires sur l'art moderne et la culture visuelle, comme en témoigne sa publication la plus récente, Mondrian's Dress: Yves Saint Laurent, Piet Mondrian, and Pop Art (Cambridge, MA, The MIT Press, 2023).

Journal Article
Throughout her career, African American artist Betye Saar has pioneered a highly original and personal aesthetic that transcends the strict categorizations of art-historical genres. Reconfiguring ...early surrealist influences from the likes of artists such as Joseph Cornell, Saar has painted, collaged, sculpted, and assembled to define a re-enchanted cosmology for our time as seen through her life experiences. To accomplish this, she staunchly resisted the white, patriarchal metanarratives of spiritual abstraction that, during the 1930s and 1940s, distilled the corruptibility of materiality from aesthetic utopian rigour, as visible in the work of Piet Mondrian and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. Astral bodies, personal emblems, icons, and intricate symbolisms--Saar's body of work speaks of a personal, intimate, and uncompromising soul-searching process. Objects from her childhood and others collected while travelling are gathered in her assemblages to connect past with present.

Pioneer and leader of the abstract art movement, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was known for his straight lines and pure colours. Fascinated by the mathematical laws of the universe, this Dutch artist ...nourished his work with his scientific discoveries and created a new abstract language alongside his allies Wassily Kandinsky and Fernand Léger. As his investigations advanced, his works purified and intensified to the rhythm of the travels and encounters that he enjoyed. Recognised during his lifetime as the founder of an avant-garde movement, he propagated his knowledge and his artistic vision to illustrious architects and stylists and still today remains a cherished source of inspiration.
Through a review of some ephemeral occupations of the entrance floor of the Mies' Neue National Gallery in Berlin, inaugurated in 1968 with an exhibition dedicated to Piet Mondrian designed by Mies, ...some singularities of this construction are unraveled, and some stories about the relationship between the architect and some artists are threaded together. In this way a sketch is drawn of the life in time of this museum, which finds in David Chipperfield's recent double work, that of his temporary installation Sticks and Stones before its closure for a few years to carry out the renovation work on the building, and that of this long process that ended with the museographic repartition with the significant exhibition of Alexander Calder; a way of interweaving temporary narratives about architecture, construction and art.

The First European Asymmetry Symposium in Nice has a vigorously transdisciplinary programme, which aims to focus and encourage research on asymmetry in systems as diverse as the mouse zygote and ...market economies, chemical structure, Japanese art and neuroscience. Louis Pasteur postulated the idea of molecular chirality (to describe molecules whose mirror-image forms cannot be superimposed on each other), and chemistry has pursued the idea almost obsessively since. Whether they will mean much to the economists and linguists at the Nice meeting, say - to whom asymmetry typically means non-reciprocity of inter-agent relations and has nothing to do with spatial structure - remains to be seen.
Whether the paintings of Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) took the form of landscape idylls or abstract configurations, there is in them a feeling of stability and optimism for the future. In his earlier ...work, a sense of balance was perhaps implied in the pictorial rendering of serene terrain, but later in his career he sought to convey a harmonic state of existence using geometric elements and primary colors. Here. Smith features the life and works of Mondrian.
