Rejected and scorned in the decades following its brief flowering, Art Nouveau was spectacularly rehabilitated in the 1960s. This re-evaluation offers a particularly interesting interlude in the history of style in that many different areas were affected at the same time by this phenomenon: the history of art, the art market, contemporary creative work, particularly design and graphics.
The exhibition aims to show how this rediscovery moved in various directions, and how it fitted into the spirit of the time. The great exhibitions in New York in 1959 (Art Nouveau. Art and Design at the Turn of the Century, The Museum of Modern Art) and in Paris in 1960 (Les Sources du XXe siècle. Les arts en Europe de 1884 à 1914, Musée national d’art moderne), that accorded Art Nouveau a place comparable with the other great artistic movements of the time – Impressionism, Symbolism, Fauvism and Cubism – were the first manifestations of this official recognition. However, their interpretations of forms were often reductive and limited to a simplistic contrast between straight line/ curved line. Moreover, they did not establish any relationship between the biomorphic, abstract forms of Guimard, Gaudí, Van de Velde, Bugatti, Pankok, Riemerschmid and Eckmann and the preoccupation of organic design that appeared at the end of the 1930, demonstrated by leading figures like Alvar Aalto, Charles Eames, Tapio Wirkkala and Carlo Mollino. Similarly, the Surrealists’ early enthusiasm for Art Nouveau is ignored by historians ofarchitecture, more concerned with modern Rationalism… (continue reading at atopos.gr)

le dernier cri @ cinders gallery
Le Dernier Cri: Vomir Des Yeux
CINDERS GALLERY
103 Havemeyer st.
Brookyln, NY 11211
718-388-2311
Le Dernier Cri (The Last Cry), hail from Marseilles, France, where for the past 16 years they have been producing legendary volumes of painstakingly handmade, beautiful, vibrant and violent monograph prints, books, and videos featuring some of the most irreverent underground artists in the world.
Operating out of an abandoned maternity hospital, French artists Pakito Bolino had created a truly inspirational self publishing monster with an extremely prolific output of hundreds of books and posters, all hand silk-screened in small print runs of around 150, all under the radar of both the book and art worlds. Vomir Des Yeux appropriately translates to Puking Eyeballs and their extreme combination of loud colors, offensive imagery, scruffy line work, and a vehemently uncommercial attitude may invoke your eyeballs to pop out of your skull, just as it has provoked several customs borders to ban their works, confiscate their books and in Switzerland actually burn them. Stemming from a long tradition of satirical underground publishing in France, LDC grew out of the early 80s punk scene armed with rebellion and an adventurous spirit to experiment and push the boundaries of style, taste, and function.
This exhibition will include prints by Pakito Bolino, Caroline Sury, Mike Diana, Matt Brinkman, Ota Keiti, Leif Goldberg, Valium, Stu Mead, ATAK, Moolinex, Julien Rictus, LEO, Pigassou, Ichiba Daisuke, Emre Orhun, Fredox, Nemoto, and Ms. Bastian as well as many of their silk-screened books and mindbending animations. While having shown extensively in Europe with a recent 15 year retrospective in Paris, this marks their first ever show in NY and we are happy to have them. (from the press release)
